Abstract

Let EE be an elliptic curve over Q\mathbb{Q} and let EdE^d be its twist by the quadratic character χd\chi_d. We prove there are infinitely many twists dd which are sums of two squares such that EdE^d has rank 11. This result is achieved using moments of derivatives of modular LL-functions, and particularly captures the lower derivatives which were left out in the work of Munshi. Such a result, in particular, also gives us information on the elliptic fibration (1+t2)y2=f(x)(1+t^2)y^2=f(x), where f(x)f(x) is a cubic polynomial.
