AbstractWe study p-indivisibility of the central values L(1, Ed) of quadratic twists Ed of a semi-stable elliptic curve E of conductor N. A consideration of the conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer shows that the set of quadratic discriminants d splits naturally into several families ℱS, indexed by subsets S of the primes dividing N. Let δS = gcdd∈ℱSL(1, Ed)alg, where L(1, Ed)alg denotes the algebraic part of the central L-value, L(1, Ed). Our main theorem relates the p-adic valuations of δS as S varies. As a consequence we present an application to a refined version of a question of Kolyvagin. Finally we explain an intriguing (albeit speculative) relation betweenWaldspurger packets on and congruences of modular forms of integral and half-integral weight. In this context, we formulate a conjecture on congruences of half-integral weight forms and explain its relevance to the problem of p-indivisibility of L-values of quadratic twists.

We extend results of Bringmann and Ono that relate certain generalized traces of Maass–Poincaré series to Fourier coefficients of modular forms of half-integral weight. By specializing to cases in which these traces are usual traces of algebraic numbers, we generalize results of Zagier describing arithmetic traces associated to modular forms. We define correspondences [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We show that if f is a modular form of non-positive weight 2 - 2 λ and odd level N, holomorphic away from the cusp at infinity, then the traces of values at Heegner points of a certain iterated non-holomorphic derivative of f are equal to Fourier coefficients of the half-integral weight modular forms [Formula: see text].
