Abstract

We show that, for any $d$, the $2$-torsion of Tate–Shafarevich groups of absolutely simple abelian varieties of dimension $d$ over $\mathbb Q $ can be arbitrarily large. This involves the use of an approach, which we shall describe, for demonstrating arbitrarily large Tate–Shafarevich groups which does not require entire Selmer groups to be found.
