Abstract: We consider the following question : given a family over abelian varieties mathcalA over a curve B defined over a number field k, how does the rank of the Mordell-Weil group of the fibres mathcalAt(k) vary? A specialisation theorem of Silverman guarantees that, for almost all t in C(k), the rank of the fibre is at least the generic rank, that is the rank of mathcalA(k(B)). When the base curve B is rational, we show, at least in many cases and under some geometric conditions, that there are infinitely many fibres for which the rank is larger than the generic rank. This paper is a sequel to a paper of the second author where the case of elliptic surfaces is treated.
