Did you know nomination

[edit]

  • ... that partial Euler products for elliptic curve L-functions contain an unexpected factor, leading to interesting connections to BSD, a millennium problem?
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: The factor is the square root of 2, first appearing in Goldfeld's paper on the topic. Later, Conrad extended his work and explained that it comes from the second-moment L-Function.

  • [Not a full DYK review] the article has many valid cleanup banners that are blocking its appearance on DYK. But also, to meet the DYK requirement for being interesting, we need a hook with some real-world relevance, and avoidance of jargon. The Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture cannot be expected to be known by most readers, especially disguised by an acronym, the word "interesting" is an editorialization that needs a published source, and unless there is some reasonable expectation for this connection to be strong enough to be central in a $1M payout from the millenium prizes there is little real-world relevance. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
