Congruent Numbers, elliptic curves and modular forms of half-integral weight

308 , Mathematics Research Center Building (ori. New Math. Bldg.)

Congruent number problem studied via CM elliptic curves. Using tools from half-integral weight modular forms (Shimura, Waldspurger, Tunnell), reduced to weak case of the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture.
