Tamagawa Numbers of elliptic curves with C13 torsion over quadratic fields

Abstract

Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field K, cv the Tamagawa number of E at v, and let cE=Πvcv. Lorenzini proved that v13(cE) is postive for all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with a point of order 13. Krumm conjectured, based on extensive computation, that the 13-adic valuation of cE is even for all such elliptic curves. In this note we prove this conjecture and furhtermore prove that there is an unique such curve satisfying v13(cE)=2.
