Elliptic Curves with positive rank and no integral points
Abstract
We consider all \emph{odd} fundamental discriminants and their mirror discriminants , and we study the family of elliptic curves . We denote by and the rank of the -part of the ideal class group of and respectively. We show that every curve in the subfamily of elliptic curves with for (respectively, with for ) cannot have any integral points, and this is proved unconditionally. By employing results of Satg\'e and by assuming finiteness of the -primary part of their Tate-Shafarevich group, we show that the curves must have odd rank when and even rank when . This result is particularly interesting for the case of since every curve with has infinitely many rational points - assuming finiteness of the -primary part of their Tate-Shafarevich group - yet no integral points. We obtain an unconditional result on the existence of elliptic curves with non-trivial rank and no integral points, by defining a parametrised family of such curves with no integral points but with a parametrised rational point, which we prove that it is of infinite order.
