Tamagawa Numbers of elliptic curves with $C_{13}$ torsion over quadratic fields

Abstract

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over a number field $K$, $c_v$ the Tamagawa number of $E$ at $v$, and let $c_E={\prod }_v{c}_v$. Lorenzini proved that $v_{13}(c_E)$ is postive for all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with a point of order $13$. Krumm conjectured, based on extensive computation, that the $13$-adic valuation of $c_E$ is even for all such elliptic curves. In this note we prove this conjecture and furhtermore prove that there is an unique such curve satisfying $v_{13}(c_E)=2$.
