On high rank /3 and 2/3-congruent number elliptic curves

Abstract: Consider the elliptic curves given by

E_{n, h e t a} : q u a d y^{2} = x^{3} + 2 s n x^{2} - (r^{2} - s^{2}) n^{2} x

where

0 < h e t a < p i

,

c o s (h e t a) = s / r

is rational with

0 l e q | s | < r

and

g c d (r, s) = 1

. These elliptic curves are related to the

h e t a

-congruent number problem as a generalization of the congruent number problem. For fixed

h e t a

this family corresponds to the quadratic twist by

n

of the curve

E_{h e t a} :,, y^{2} = x^{3} + 2 s x^{2} - (r^{2} - s^{2}) x .

We study two special cases

h e t a = p i / 3

and

h e t a = 2 p i / 3

. We have found a subfamily of

n = n (w)

having rank at least

3

over

m a t h b b Q (w)

and a subfamily with rank

4

parametrized by points of an elliptic curve with positive rank. We also found examples of

n

such that

E_{n, h e t a}

has rank up to

7

over

m a t h b b Q

in both cases.
