Abstract

In this paper we study the Tate-Shafarevich groups III p of the reductions modulo primes p of an elliptic curve E/ considered as being defined over their function fields. Assuming GRH when E has no CM, we show that III p is trivial for a positive proportion of primes p, provided E has an irrational point of order two.
