Abstract
Two elliptic curves defined over are called discriminant twins if they have the same minimal discriminant and the same conductor. Deines, in 2014, conjectured that there exist infinitely many semi-stable non-isogenous discriminant twins. In this article we present an explicit infinite family of semi-stable non-isogenous discriminant twins, providing a proof for Deines' conjecture.
