Abstract: The elliptic curve $E_{k}colon{y}^2=x^3+k$ admits a natural 3-isogeny $ph{i}_{k}colon{E}_{k}o{E}_{-27k}$. We compute the average size of the $ph{i}_k$-Selmer group as $k$ varies over the integers. Unlike previous results of Bhargava and Shankar on $n$-Selmer groups of elliptic curves, we show that this average can be very sensitive to congruence conditions on $k$; this sensitivity can be precisely controlled by the Tamagawa numbers of $E_k$ and $E_{-27k}$. As consequences, we prove that the average rank of the curves $E_k$, $kinmathbbZ$, is less than 1.21 and over $23\mathrm{\%}$ (resp. $41\mathrm{\%}$) of the curves in this family have rank 0 (resp. 3-Selmer rank 1).
