Abstract

Let $E / \mathbf{Q}$ be a semistable elliptic curve of analytic rank one, and let $p \gt 3$ be a prime forwhich $E[p]$ is irreducible. In this note, following a slight modification of the methods of “The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formula for elliptic curves of analytic rank one” [Dimitar Jetchev, Christopher Skinner, and Xin Wan, Camb. J. Math. 5 (2017), no. 3, 369–434], we use Iwasawa theory to establish the $p$-part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer formula for $E$. In particular, we extend the main result of loc.cit. to primes of multiplicative reduction.
