Abstract

We study elliptic curves induced by regular Diophantine triples, with emphasis on their torsion subgroups. We show that an elliptic curve EE induced by a regular Diophantine triple in integers necessarily has torsion subgroup E(Q)torsZ/2Z×Z/2ZE(\mathbb{Q})_{\mathrm{tors}} \cong \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \times \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}. Moreover, we develop a criterion for when such an elliptic curve acquires a point of order 33 over a quadratic field. For a particular family {k1,k+1,4k}\{ k-1, k+1, 4k\}, we use it to show that this does not happen. Finally, we study both the torsion and the generic rank of a family of elliptic curves induced by the D(k2)D(-k^2)-triple {1,2k2,2k2+2k+1}\{1, 2k^2, 2k^2+2k+1\}.
