Abstract

For any quadratic extension L/KL/K of number fields, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic curves EE over KK so that the abelian groups E(K)E(K) and E(L)E(L) both have rank 11. In particular, there are infinitely many elliptic curves of rank 11 over any number field. This result generalizes theorems of Koymans-Pagano and Alp\"oge-Bhargava-Ho-Shnidman which were used to independently show that Hilbert's tenth problem over the ring of integers of any number field has a negative answer. Our approach differs since we are obtaining our elliptic curves by specializing a nonisotrivial rank 11 family of elliptic curves and we compute all the ranks involved.
