No label defined (Q3973404)

The authors study certain families of elliptic curves \(E\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\). They are interested in the rank of the Mordell-Weil groups \(E(K)\) of these curves over quadratic extensions \(K\) of \(\mathbb{Q}\). Since \(E(\mathbb{Q})\) is a subgroup of \(E(K)\), the rank of \(E(K)\) will at least be as large as the rank of \(E(\mathbb{Q})\). The authors look for examples where the rank of \(E(K)\) is much, or at least strictly larger than the rank of \(E(\mathbb{Q})\). They consider families of elliptic curves \(E\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\) with \(\operatorname{rk}E(\mathbb{Q})\) very large as well as with \(\operatorname{rk}E(\mathbb{Q})=0\).
