Domain 04 · Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer

Campaign ID: BSD-001
Mathematical status: open conjecture
Canonical field: elliptic curves over Q
Governance: ADR-0005

Canonical challenge

The campaign separates three nearby obligations that must not be conflated:

  • equality of Mordell–Weil rank and complex analytic rank;
  • finiteness of the Tate–Shafarevich group;
  • the strong leading-term formula with all normalization data explicit.

A parity statement, family result, one-prime theorem, finite computation, or p-adic formula does not by itself establish the universal complex conjecture.

Programme posture

WP00–WP04 have completed source normalization, false-proof analysis, theorem-ledger construction, computational/formal substrate review, and restricted-target selection. The selected target BSD-R2-A1 remains unproved. No WP05 or theorem-strengthening stage is inferred from promotion of the documentary stack.

Canonical artifacts

Claim boundary

The programme has not proved BSD, a new rank theorem, finiteness of Sha, or a new leading-term formula. The current selected target is a bounded research obligation inside the normalized theorem ledger.
