Abstract

Let E be an elliptic curve over , and τ an Artin representation over that factors through the non-abelian extension , where p is an odd prime and n, m are positive integers. We show that L(E,τ,1), the special value at s=1 of the L-function of the twist of E by τ, divided by the classical transcendental period Ω+d+d|ε(τ) is algebraic and Galois-equivariant, as predicted by Deligne's conjecture.
