On a comparison of Cassels pairings of different elliptic curves

Streszczenie
Let $e_1,e_2,e_3$ be nonzero integers satisfying $e_1+e_2+e_3=0$. Let $(a,b,c)$ be a primitive triple of odd integers satisfying $e_1a^2+e_2b^2+e_3c^2=0$. Consider the elliptic curves $E: y^2=x(x-e_1)(x+e_2)$ and $\mathcal E: y^2=x(x-e_1a^2)(x+e_2b^2)$. Assume that the $2$-Selmer groups of $E$ and $\mathcal E$ are minimal. Let $n$ be a positive square-free odd integer, where the prime factors of $n$ are nonzero quadratic residues modulo each odd prime factor of $e_1e_2e_3abc$. Then under certain conditions, the $2$-Selmer group and the Cassels pairing of the quadratic twist $E^{(n)}$ coincide with those of $\mathcal E^{(n)}$. As a corollary, $E^{(n)}$ has Mordell–Weil rank zero without order $4$ element in its Shafarevich–Tate group, if and only if these hold for $\mathcal E^{(n)}$. We also give some applications for the congruent number elliptic curve.
