Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture Updated 2025-07-16
The BSD conjecture states that if your name is long enough, it will always count as two letters on a famous conjecture.
Maybe also insert a joke about BSD Operating Systems if you're into that kind of stuff.
The conjecture states that Equation 1. "BSD conjecture" holds for every elliptic curve over the rational numbers (which is defined by its constants and )
Equation 1.
BSD conjecture
. Where the following numbers are defined for the elliptic curve we are currently considering, defined by its constants and :- : number of elements of the elliptic curve over the finite field, where the finite field comes from the reduction of an elliptic curve from to . can be calculated algorithmically with Schoof's algorithm in polynomial time
- : rank of the elliptic curve over the rational numbers. We don't really have a good general way to calculate this besides this conjecture (?).
- : a constant
The conjecture, if true, provides a (possibly inefficient) way to calculate the rank of an elliptic curve over the rational numbers, since we can calculate the number of elements of an elliptic curve over a finite field by Schoof's algorithm in polynomial time. So it is just a matter of calculating like that up to some point at which we are quite certain about .
The Wikipedia page of the this conecture is the perfect example of why it is not possible to teach natural sciences on Wikipedia. A million dollar problem, and the page is thoroughly incomprehensible unless you already know everything!
