Rank Jumps and Growth of Shafarevich--Tate Groups for Elliptic Curves in $\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z}$-Extensions

Abstract

In this paper, we use techniques from Iwasawa theory to study questions about rank jump of elliptic curves in cyclic extensions of prime degree. We also study growth of the $p$-primary Selmer group and the Shafarevich--Tate group in cyclic degree-$p$ extensions and improve upon previously known results in this direction.
