Abstract: We study the growth of the rank of elliptic curves and, more generally, Abelian varieties upon extensions of number fields. First, we show that if $L/K$ is a finite Galois extension of number fields such that $Gal(L/K)$ does not have an index 2 subgroup and $A/K$ is an Abelian variety, then $kA(L)-kA(K)$ can never be 1. We obtain more precise results when $Gal(L/K)$ is of odd order, alternating, $S{L}_2(F_p)$ or $PS{L}_2(F_p)$. This implies a restriction on $kE(K(E[p]))-kE(K(zet{a}_p))$ when $E/K$ is an elliptic curve whose mod $p$ Galois representation is surjective. Similar results are obtained for the growth of the rank in certain non-Galois extensions. Second, we show that for every $nge2$ there exists an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$ such that $Qotime{s}_{Q}Re{s}_{K/Q}E$ contains a number field of degree $2^n$. We ask whether every elliptic curve $E/K$ has infinite rank over $KQ(2)$, where $Q(2)$ is the compositum of all quadratic extensions of $Q$. We show that if the answer is yes, then for any $nge2$, there exists an elliptic curve $E/K$ admitting infinitely many quadratic twists whose rank is a positive multiple of $2^n$.
