On the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve

This dissertation work concentrates on finding non-trivial elements in the Shafarevich-Tate group of an elliptic curve. The set of K-rational points on an elliptic curve, E, are known to form a finitely generated abelian group. My results are of interest when trying to find the rank of this group, w...
