Shafarevich-Tate groups of abelian varieties

The Shafarevich-Tate group $W (mathscr{A})$ measures the failure of the Hasse principle for an abelian variety $mathscr{A}$. Using a correspondence between the abelian varieties and the higher dimensional non-commutative tori, we prove that $W (mathscr{A})cong Cl~(Lambda)oplus Cl~(Lambda)$ or $W (mathscr{A})cong left(mathbf{Z}/2^kmathbf{Z}right) oplus Cl_{~mathbf{odd}}~(Lambda)oplus Cl_{~mathbf{odd}}~(Lambda)$, where $Cl~(Lambda)$ is the ideal class group of a ring $Lambda$ associated to the K-theory of the non-commutative tori and $2^k $ divides the order of $Cl~(Lambda)$. The case of elliptic curves with complex multiplication is considered in detail.
