Mordell-Weil ranks of families of elliptic curves associated to Pythagorean triples

Bartosz Naskręcki — 2013

Acta Arithmetica

We study the family of elliptic curves y² = x(x-a²)(x-b²) parametrized by Pythagorean triples (a,b,c). We prove that for a generic triple the lower bound of the rank of the Mordell-Weil group over ℚ is 1, and for some explicitly given infinite family the rank is 2. To each family we attach an elliptic surface fibered over the projective line. We show that the lower bounds for the rank are optimal, in the sense that for each generic fiber of such an elliptic surface its corresponding Mordell-Weil...

Distribution of Mordell-Weil ranks of families of elliptic curves

Bartosz Naskręcki — 2016

Banach Center Publications

We discuss the distribution of Mordell-Weil ranks of the family of elliptic curves y² = (x + αf²)(x + βbg²)(x + γh²) where f,g,h are coprime polynomials that parametrize the projective smooth conic a² + b² = c² and α,β,γ are elements from ℚ̅. In our previous papers we discussed certain special cases of this problem and in this article we complete the picture by proving the general results.
