Did you know nomination

[edit]
The following is an archived discussion of the DYK nomination of the article below. Please do not modify this page.

  • ... 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.
Created by Dan Olegovich (talk). Number of QPQs required: 0. Nominator has fewer than 5 past nominations.

  • [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
  • The nominator has not edited since the day of the nomination and did not respond to the above concern. Given that and the concerns raised about the hook's interest (which I agree with), I am marking this for closure. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 08:34, 16 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
