| The ABC-Conjecture and bounds for the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group |
We will discuss various equivalent formulations of the ABC-Conjecture in terms of bounds for the order of invariant quantities associated to elliptic curves, particularly, the Tate-Shafarevich group. We will show that, in order to prove the ABC-Conjecture, it suffices to prove the following fact:
For every elliptic curve E, there is some `small' quadratic
twist ED whose Tate-Shafarevich group is bounded by
