One of the central problems of number theory is to describe the rational solutions of polynomial equations. The case of linear and quadratic equations is elementary, but the case of cubic equations (so-called "elliptic curves") is vastly deeper. The study of elliptic curves is a major strand of number theory, with connections to many other disciplines including topology, geometry, and cryptology. For an elliptic curve, the set of rational points on the curve forms an abelian group, which is known to be finitely generated. We define the "rank" of the curve to be the rank of this group; the central problem in the theory of elliptic curves is how to determine this rank. The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture, one of the most famous open problems in mathematics, gives a conjectural formula for this rank, relating it to an auxiliary object known as an L-function.The goal of this project is to make new progress on the Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for elliptic curves, and its generalisations to higher-dimensional objects ('abelian varieties'), using mathematical tools known as Euler systems.

数论的核心问题之一是描述多项式方程的有理解。线性和二次方程的情况是基本的，但三次方程（所谓的“椭圆曲线”）的情况要深刻得多。椭圆曲线的研究是数论的一个主要分支，与拓扑学、几何学和密码学等许多其他学科有联系。对于椭圆曲线，曲线上的有理点集合形成阿贝尔群，已知该阿贝尔群是有限生成的。我们将曲线的“等级”定义为该组的等级；椭圆曲线理论的中心问题是如何确定这个等级。 Birch 和 Swinnerton-Dyer 猜想是数学中最著名的开放问题之一，给出了该等级的猜想公式，并将其与称为 L 函数的辅助对象相关联。该项目的目标是在椭圆曲线的 Birch--Swinnerton-Dyer 猜想及其对高维对象（“阿贝尔簇”）的推广，使用称为欧拉系统的数学工具。
