Visibility theorems imply nontrivial ℓ-torsion in Sha of quadratic twists of elliptic curves with additive reduction at ℓ; for ℓ=3 this yields pairs of curves with identical BSD data and Kodaira symbols but isomorphic Sha groups containing 3-torsion.

abstract
Let $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ be elliptic curves defined over a number field $K$. We say that $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ are discriminant ideal twins if they are not $K$-isomorphic and have the same minimal discriminant ideal and conductor. Such curves are said to be discriminant twins if, for each prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $K$, there are $\mathfrak{p}$-minimal models for $E_{1}$ and $E_{2}$ whose discriminants are equal. This article explicitly classifies all prime-isogenous discriminant (ideal) twins over $\mathbb{Q}$. We obtain this classification as a consequence of our main results, which constructively gives all $p$-isogenous discriminant ideal twins over number fields where $p\in\left\{ 2,3,5,7,13\right\} $, i.e., where $X_0(p)$ has genus $0$. In particular, we find that up to twist, there are finitely many $p$-isogenous discriminant ideal twins if and only if $K$ is $\mathbb{Q}$ or an imaginary quadratic field. In the latter case, we provide instructions for finding the finitely many pairs of $j$-invariants that result in $p$-isogenous discriminant ideal twins. We prove our results by considering the local data of parameterized $p$-isogenous elliptic curves.

Nontrivial torsion in the Tate--Shafarevich group of elliptic curves via visibility and twists
Visibility theorems imply nontrivial ℓ-torsion in Sha of quadratic twists of elliptic curves with additive reduction at ℓ; for ℓ=3 this yields pairs of curves with identical BSD data and Kodaira symbols but isomorphic Sha groups containing 3-torsion.
