Abstract: Let E be an elliptic curve over mathbbQ, with L-function LE(s). For any primitive Dirichlet character chi, let LE(s,chi) be the L-function of E twisted by chi. In this paper, we use random matrix theory to study vanishing of the twisted L-functions LE(s,chi) at the central value s=1. In particular, random matrix theory predicts that there are infinitely many characters of order 3 and 5 such that LE(1,chi)=0, but that for any fixed prime kgeq7, there are only finitely many character of order k such that LE(1,chi) vanishes. With the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture, those conjectures can be restated to predict the number of cyclic extensions K/mathbbQ of prime degree such that E acquires new rank over K.
