Abstract
Résumé

Given any integer $N > 1$ prime to $3$ , we denote by $C_{N}$ the elliptic curve $x^{3} + y^{3} = N$ . We first study the $3$ -adic valuation of the algebraic part of the value of the Hasse–Weil $L$ -function $L (C_{N}, s)$ of $C_{N}$ over $ℚ$ at $s = 1$ , and we exhibit a relation between the $3$ -part of its Tate–Shafarevich group and the number of distinct prime divisors of $N$ which are inert in the imaginary quadratic field $K = ℚ (\sqrt{- 3})$ . In the case where $L (C_{N}, 1) \neq 0$ and $N$ is a product of split primes in $K$ , we show that the order of the Tate–Shafarevich group as predicted by the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer is a perfect square.

Étant donné un entier $N > 1$ premier à $3$ , on désigne par $C_{N}$ la courbe elliptique $x^{3} + y^{3} = N$ . On étudie d’abord la valuation $3$ -adique de la partie algébrique de la valeur en $s = 1$ de la fonction $L$ de Hasse–Weil $L (C_{N}, s)$ de $C_{N}$ sur $ℚ$ et on établit une relation entre la partie de $3$ -torsion de son groupe de Tate–Shafarevich et le nombre de diviseurs premiers distincts de $N$ qui sont inertes dans le corps quadratique imaginaire $K = ℚ (\sqrt{- 3})$ . Dans la cas où $L (C_{N}, 1) \neq 0$ et $N$ est un produit de nombres premiers décomposés dans $K$ , on montre que l’ordre du groupe de Tate–Shafarevich, comme prédit par la conjecture de Birch et Swinnerton-Dyer, est un carré parfait.
