Abstract: Let $E$ be the elliptic curve $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t)$ over the field $Fp(t)$ where $p$ is an odd prime. We study the arithmetic of $E$ over extensions $Fq(t^{1/d})$ where $q$ is a power of $p$ and $d$ is an integer prime to $p$. The rank of $E$ is given in terms of an elementary property of the subgroup of $$ generated by $p$. We show that for many values of $d$ the rank is large. For example, if $d$ divides $2(p^f-1)$ and $2(p^f-1)/d$ is odd, then the rank is at least $d/2$. When $d=2(p^f-1)$, we exhibit explicit points generating a subgroup of $E(Fq(t^{1/d}))$ of finite index in the "2-new" part, and we bound the index as well as the order of the "2-new" part of the Tate-Shafarevich group.
