Abstract: For positive rank $r$ elliptic curves $E(mathbbQ)$, we employ ideal class pairings ${\displaystyle }$ E(mathbb{Q}) imes E_{-D}(mathbb{Q}) ightarrow mathrm{CL}(-D), ${\displaystyle }$ for quadratic twists $E_{-D}(mathbbQ)$ with a suitable ``small $y$-height rational point, to obtain effective class number lower bounds. For the curves $E^{(a)}:y^2=x^3-a,$ with rank $r(a),$ this gives ${\displaystyle }$ h(-D) geq frac{1}{10}cdot frac{|E_{mathrm{tor}}(mathbb{Q})|}{sqrt{R_{mathbb{Q}}(E)}}cdot frac{Gammaleft (frac{r(a)}{2}+1 ight)}{(4pi)^{frac{r(a)}{2}}} cdot frac{log(D)^{frac{r(a)}{2}}}{log log D}, ${\displaystyle }$ representing an improvement to the classical lower bound of Goldfeld, Gross and Zagier when $r(a)geq3$. We prove that the number of twists $E_{-D}^{(a)}(mathbbQ)$ with such a point (resp. with such a point and rank $geq2$ under the Parity Conjecture) is $g{g}_{a,varepsilon}{X}^{frac12-varepsilon}.$ We give infinitely many cases where $r(a)geq6$. These results can be viewed as an analogue of the classical estimate of Gouv^ea and Mazur for the number of rank $geq2$ quadratic twists, where in addition we obtain ``log-power improvements to the Goldfeld-Gross-Zagier class number lower bound.
