摘要

Let A be an abelian variety over a number field K. An identity between the L-functions L (A/K-i, s) for extensions K-i of K induces a conjectural relation between the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer quotients. We prove these relations modulo finiteness of X, and give an analogous statement for Selmer groups. Based on this, we develop a method for determining the parity of various combinations of ranks of A over extensions of K. As one of the applications, we establish the parity conjecture for elliptic curves assuming finiteness of III(E/K(E[2]))[6(infinity)] and some restrictions on the reduction at primes above 2 and 3: the parity of the Mordell-Weil rank of E/K agrees with the parity of the analytic rank, as determined by the root number. We also prove the p-parity conjecture for all elliptic curves over and all primes p: the parities of the p(infinity)-Selmer rank and the analytic rank agree.
