elliptic curve analogue of ambiguous class number formula

157 Views Asked by At

The ambiguous class number formula (first proven by Chevalley) gives the number of (strongly) ambiguous ideal classes in terms of the class number $h(K)$ of the base field $K$, the number $t$ of ramified primes (including those at infinity), and the index of the units that are norms (of integers and units, respectively) inside the unit group $E_K$ of $K$. (see for example this article by F. Lemmermeyer)

Since it is well known that Selmer groups of elliptic curves (over a base field $K$) and the class group of $K$ are 'closely' related, is there an analogue of this formula for Selmer groups of elliptic curves.
