Both the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the Shafarevich-Tate conjecture provide ways of studying rational points on elliptic curves. Curiously, some basic properties of L-functions translate into out-of-reach statements about rational points, and vice versa. I will discuss several unexplained consequences that rational points, Selmer groups and L-functions imply about each other.
