Abstract: Let mathscrEightarrowmathbbPm1athbbQ be a non-trivial rational elliptic surface over mathbbQ with base mathbbPm1athbbQ (with a section). We conjecture that any non-trivial elliptic surface has a Zariski-dense set of mathbbQ-rational points. In this paper we work on solving the conjecture in case mathscrE is rational by means of geometric and analytic methods. First, we show that for mathscrE rational, the set mathscrE(mathbbQ) is Zariski-dense when mathscrE is isotrivial with non-zero j-invariant and when mathscrE is non-isotrivial with a fiber of type II*, III, IV or Im (mgeq0). We also use the parity conjecture to prove analytically the density on a certain family of isotrivial rational elliptic surfaces with j=0, and specify cases for which neither of our methods leads to the proof of our conjecture.
