On non-congruent numbers with 1 modulo 4 prime factors

Articles

Abstract

In this paper, we use the 2-descent method to find a series of odd non-congruent numbers ≡ 1 (mod 8) whose prime factors are ≡ 1 (mod 4) such that the congruent elliptic curves have second lowest Selmer groups, which include Li and Tian’s result as special cases.
