Elliptic curves over global fields (11G05) Heights (11G50)

Abstract: Let n be a positive integer and t a non-zero integer. We consider the elliptic curve over Q given by E : y 2 = x 3 + tx 2 -- n 2 (t + 3n 2)x + n 6. It is a special case of an elliptic surface studied recently by Bettin, David and Delaunay [2] and it generalizes Washington's family. The point (0, n 3) belongs to E(Q) and we obtain some results about its nondivisibility in E(Q). Our work extends to this two-parameter family of elliptic curves a previous study of Duquesne (mainly stated for n = 1 and t > 0).

Review text

In this paper, the author studies the family of elliptic curves \(\mathcal{E}_n(t)\) over \(\mathbb{Q}\) given by the equation \(y^2 = x^3+ tx^2 - n^2(t+3n^2)x+n^6\). The main result is that if \(n\) is a positive integer and \(t\geq \max(100n^2,n^4\) or \(t\leq \min(-100n^2,-2n^4)\), and \(t^2+2n^2t+9n^4\) is squarefree, then the \((0,n^3)\) is not dividible on \(\mathcal{E}_n(t)\), i.e. there does not exist a point \(P\in \mathcal{E}_n(t)\) and an integer \(\ell \geq 2\) such that \(\ell P=(0,n^3)\).
