We study elliptic curves of the form x^3+y^3=2^p and x^3+y^3=2p^2 where p is any odd prime satisfying p ≡ 2 mod 9 or p ≡ 5 mod 9. We first show that the 3-part of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture holds for these curves. Then we relate their 2-Selmer group to the 2-rank of the ideal class group of Q(\sqrt[3]{p}) to obtain some examples of elliptic curves with rank one and non-trivial 2-part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.

Let E be a quadratic algebra over a number field F. Let E(g, s) be an Eisenstein series on GL2(E), and let F be a cuspidal automorphic form on GL2(F). We will consider in this paper the following automorphic integral: ∫ZAGL2(F)∖GL2(AF)F(g)E(g,s)dg. This is in some sense the complementary case to the well-known Rankin–Selberg integral and the triple product formula. We will approach this integral by Waldspurger’s formula, giving a criterion about when the integral is automatically zero, and otherwise the L-functions it represents. We will also calculate the local integrals at some ramified places, where the level of the ramification can be arbitrarily large.

The paper uses Iwasawa theory at the prime 𝑝=2 to prove non-vanishing theorems for the value at 𝑠=1 of the complex 𝐿-series of certain quadratic twists of the Gross family of elliptic curves with complex multiplication by the field 𝐾 = ℚ(√(-q)), where 𝑞 is any prime ≡ 7 mod 8. Our results establish some broad generalizations of the non-vanishing theorem first proven by Rohrlich using complex analytic methods. Such non-vanishing theorems are important because it is known that they imply the finiteness of the Mordell–Weil group and the Tate–Shafarevich group of the corresponding elliptic curves over the Hilbert class field of 𝐾. It is essential for the proofs to study the Iwasawa theory of the higher dimensional abelian variety with complex multiplication which is obtained by taking the restriction of scalars to 𝐾 of the particular elliptic curve with complex multiplication introduced by Gross.
