Abstract

The conjectures of Deligne, Beılinson, and Bloch-Kato assert that there should be relations between the arithmetic of algebro-geometric objects and the special values of their L-functions. We make a numerical study for symmetric power L-functions of elliptic curves, obtaining data about the validity of their functional equations, frequency of vanishing of central values, and divisibility of Bloch-Kato quotients.
