Abstract
Let be a nonisotrivial elliptic curve over and denote the rank of the abelian group by . For all but finitely many , specialization will give an elliptic curve over for which the abelian group has rank at least . Conjecturally, the set of for which has rank exactly has positive density. We produce the first known example for which has rank for infinitely many . For our particular which has rank , we will make use of a theorem of Green on -term arithmetic progressions in the primes to produce for which has only a few bad primes that we understand well enough to perform a -descent.
