Visibility of the Shafarevich-Tate Group at Higher Level Dimitar P. Jetchev
William A. Stein We study visibility of Shafarevich-Tate groups of modular abelian varieties in Jacobians of modular curves of higher level. We prove a theorem about the existence of visible elements at a specific higher level under hypotheses that can be verified explicitely. We also provide a table of examples of visible subgroups at higher level and state conjectures inspired by our data.
