On the arithmetic of twists of superelliptic curves

Number Theory 2015-06-26 v2

Abstract

In this paper, we consider a family of twists of a superelliptic curve over a global field, and obtain results on the distribution of the Mordell-Weil rank of these twists. Our results have applications to the distribution of the number of rational points.
