Tamagawa numbers and torsion of elliptic curves over function fields

We study the divisibilities of Tamagawa numbers $ c(E) $ of elliptic curves $ E $ over global function fields $ K $ in terms of their torsion subgroups $ E(K)_{\operatorname{tors}} $. In particular, for a non-isotrivial elliptic curve $ E / k(t) $, where $ k $ is a finite field of characteristic greater than $ 3 $, we...
