Abstract

Let $C_A/\Q$ be the curve $y^2 = x^5 + A$, and let $L(s, J_A)$ denote the $L$-series of its Jacobian. Under the assumption that the sign in the functional equation for $L(s, J_A)$ is $+1$, the critical value $L(1, J_A)$ is evaluated in terms of the value of a theta series for $\Q(\sqrt{5})$ depending on $A$ at a complex multiplication point coming from $\Q(\zeta_5)$.
