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 still quite difficult to find), while rank 7 twists seem much more rare. We also describe our inability...

Lang-Trotter and Sato-Tate distributions in single and double parametric families of elliptic curves

Similarity:

We obtain new results concerning the Lang-Trotter conjectures on Frobenius traces and Frobenius fields over single and double parametric families of elliptic curves. We also obtain similar results with respect to the Sato-Tate conjecture. In particular, we improve a result of A. C. Cojocaru and the second author (2008) towards the Lang-Trotter conjecture on average for polynomially parameterised families of elliptic curves when the parameter runs through a set of rational numbers of...
