چکیده
Some notes on the analogy between number theory over Z and Fq[t] and an attempt to translate a paper of Gouvêa and Mazur on ranks of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over Q to elliptic curves over Fq(t).

Disparity in Selmer ranks of quadratic twists of elliptic curves
We study the parity of 2-Selmer ranks in the family of quadratic twists of an arbitrary elliptic curve E over an arbitrary number field K. We prove that the fraction of twists (of a given elliptic curve over a fixed number field) having even 2-Selmer rank exists as a stable limit over the family of twists, and we compute this fraction as an explicit product of local factors. We give an example ...
متن کاملRanks of Elliptic Curves
This paper gives a general survey of ranks of elliptic curves over the field of rational numbers. The rank is a measure of the size of the set of rational points. The paper includes discussions of the Birch and SwinnertonDyer Conjecture, the Parity Conjecture, ranks in families of quadratic twists, and ways to search for elliptic curves of large rank.
متن کاملExperimental Data for Goldfeld's Conjecture over Function Fields
This paper presents empirical evidence supporting Goldfeld’s conjecture on the average analytic rank of a family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve in the function field setting. In particular, we consider representatives of the four classes of non-isogenous elliptic curves over Fq(t) with (q, 6) = 1 possessing two places of multiplicative reduction and one place of additive reductio...
متن کاملRANKS OF QUADRATIC TWISTS OF ELLIPTIC CURVES by
— We report on a large-scale project to investigate the ranks of elliptic curves in a quadratic twist family, focussing on the congruent number curve. Our methods to exclude candidate curves include 2-Selmer, 4-Selmer, and 8-Selmer tests, the use of the Guinand-Weil explicit formula, and even 3-descent in a couple of cases. We find that rank 6 quadratic twists are reasonably common (though stil...
متن کاملRanks of Twists of Elliptic Curves and Hilbert’s Tenth Problem
In this paper we investigate the 2-Selmer rank in families of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields. We give sufficient conditions on an elliptic curve so that it has twists of arbitrary 2-Selmer rank, and we give lower bounds for the number of twists (with bounded conductor) that have a given 2-Selmer rank. As a consequence, under appropriate hypotheses we can find m...
