Amicable pairs and aliquot cycles on average

Number Theory 2015-07-03 v1

Abstract

Silverman and Stange defined the notion of an aliquot cycle of length LL for a fixed elliptic curve E/QE/\mathbb{Q}, and conjectured an order of magnitude for the function that counts such aliquot cycles. We show that the conjectured upper bound holds for the number of aliquot cycles on average over the family of all elliptic curves with short bounds on the size of the parameters in the family.
