A Homological Definition for the Tate--Shafarevich Group of a Pell Conic
Franz Lemmermeyer's previous work laid the framework for a description of the arithmetic of Pell conics, which is analogous to that of elliptic curves. He describes a group law on conics and conjectures the existence of an analogous Tate--Shafarevich group with order the squared ideals of the narrow class group. In this article, we provide a cohomological definition of the Tate--Shafarevich group and show that its order is as Lemmermeyer conjectured.
