On the rank of the fibers of elliptic K3 surfaces

Abstract: Let

X

be an elliptic K3 surface endowed with two distinct Jacobian elliptic fibrations

p i_{i}

,

i = 1, 2

, defined over a number field

k

. We prove that there is an elliptic curve

C s u b s e t X

such that the generic rank over

k

of

X

after a base extension by

C

is strictly larger than the generic rank of

X

. Moreover, if the generic rank of

p i_{j}

is positive then there are infinitely many fibers of

p i_{i}

(

j e q i

) with rank at least the generic rank of

p i_{i}

plus one.
