The conjecture of Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer is misleading
[ Abstract ]
All values of zeta and L-functions at integral points should be given in terms of products and quotients of Euler characteristics, and the order of the zeroes and poles at these
points should be given by the sum and difference of the ranks of
corresponding finitely generated abelian groups.
