Abstract
In this paper, we study the algebraic rank and the analytic rank of the Jacobian of hyperelliptic curves y2 = x5 + m2 for integers m. Namely, we first provide a condition on m that gives a bound of the size of Selmer group and then we provide a condition on m that makes L-functions non-vanishing. As a consequence, we construct a Jacobian that satisfies the rank part of the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.
