Elliptic curves over global fields (11G05)

Abstract: Silverman and Stange define the notion of an aliquot cycle of length L for a fixed elliptic curve E defined over the rational numbers, and conjecture an order of magnitude for the function which counts such aliquot cycles. In the present note, we combine heuristics of Lang-Trotter with those of Koblitz to refine their conjecture to a precise asymptotic formula by specifying the appropriate constant. We give a criterion for positivity of the conjectural constant, as well as some numerical evidence for our conjecture.
