Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve over and let be its twist by the quadratic character . We prove there are infinitely many twists which are sums of two squares such that has rank . This result is achieved using moments of derivatives of modular -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 , where is a cubic polynomial.
