THE RANK AND GENERATORS OF KIHARA’S ELLIPTIC CURVE WITH TORSION Z/4Z OVER Q(t)

چکیده
For the elliptic curve E overQ(t) found by Kihara, with torsion group Z/4Z and rank ≥ 5, which is the current record for the rank of such curves, by using a suitable injective specialization, we determine exactly the rank and generators of E(Q(t)).

Elliptic Curves with Torsion Group Z/6z
We exhibit several families of elliptic curves with torsion group isomorphic to Z/6Z and generic rank at least 3. Families of this kind have been constructed previously by several authors: Lecacheux, Kihara, Eroshkin and Woo. We mention the details of some of them and we add other examples developed more recently by Dujella and Peral, and MacLeod. Then we apply an algorithm of Gusi¢ and Tadi¢ a...
متن کاملComplete characterization of the Mordell-Weil group of some families of elliptic curves
The Mordell-Weil theorem states that the group of rational points on an elliptic curve over the rational numbers is a finitely generated abelian group. In our previous paper, H. Daghigh, and S. Didari, On the elliptic curves of the form $ y^2=x^3-3px$, Bull. Iranian Math. Soc. 40 (2014), no. 5, 1119--1133., using Selmer groups, we have shown that for a prime $p...
متن کامل18.782 Arithmetic Geometry Lecture Note 25
In the last lecture we proved that the torsion subgroup of the rational points on an elliptic curve E/Q is finite. In this lecture we will prove a special case of Mordell’s theorem, which states that E(Q) is finitely generated. By the structure theorem for finitely generated abelian groups, this implies E(Q) ' Z ⊕ T, where Zr is a free abelian group of rank r, and T is the (necessarily finite) ...
متن کاملHigher descents on an elliptic curve with a rational 2-torsion point
Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field K. Descent calculations on E can be used to find upper bounds for the rank of the Mordell-Weil group, and to compute covering curves that assist in the search for generators of this group. The general method of 4-descent, developed in the PhD theses of Siksek, Womack and Stamminger, has been implemented in Magma (when K = Q) and works well for elli...
متن کاملAverage Rank of Elliptic Curves [after Manjul Bhargava and Arul Shankar]
The abelian group E(Q) of rational points on E is finitely generated [Mor22]. Hence E(Q) ' Z ⊕ T for some nonnegative integer r (the rank) and some finite abelian group T (the torsion subgroup). The torsion subgroup is well understood, thanks to B. Mazur [Maz77], but the rank remains a mystery. Already in 1901, H. Poincaré [Poi01, p. 173] asked what is the range of possibilities for the minimum...
