Abstract

Let $E / \mathbb{Q}$ be a semistable elliptic curve such that $\mathrm{ord}_{s=1} L(E,s) = 1$. We prove the $p$-part of the Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer formula for $E / \mathbb{Q}$ for each prime $p \geq 5$ of good reduction such that $E[p]$ is irreducible:\[\mathrm{ord}_p \left ( \frac{L^{\prime} (E,1)}{\Omega_E \cdot \mathrm{Reg} (E / \mathbb{Q})} \right )= \mathrm{ord}_p \left (\# \mathrm{III} (E / \mathbb{Q}) \prod_{\ell \leq \infty} c_{\ell} (E / \mathbb{Q})\right ) \: \textrm{.}\]This formula also holds for $p = 3$ provided $a_p (E) = 0$ if $E$ has supersingular reduction at $p$.
