A positive proportion of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ have rank one

Number Theory 2014-01-03 v1

Abstract

We prove that, when all elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q} are ordered by naive height, a positive proportion have both algebraic and analytic rank one. It follows that the average rank and the average analytic rank of elliptic curves are both strictly positive.
