Elliptic curves and Thompson's sporadic simple group.

We characterize all infinite-dimensional graded virtual modules for Thompson's sporadic simple group whose graded traces are weight 3 2 weakly holomorphic modular forms satisfying certain special properties. We then use these modules to detect the non-triviality of Mordell–Weil, Selmer, and Tate-Shafarevich groups of quadratic twists of certain elliptic curves. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
