Abstract

Let KK be a number field, Kˉ\bar{K} an algebraic closure of KK and E/KE/K an elliptic curve defined over KK. In this paper, we prove that if E/KE/K has a KK-rational point PP such that 2PO2P\neq O and 3PO3P\neq O, then for each σGal(Kˉ/K)\sigma\in Gal(\bar{K}/K), the Mordell-Weil group E(Kˉσ)E(\bar{K}^{\sigma}) of EE over the fixed subfield of Kˉ\bar{K} under σ\sigma has infinite rank.
