Root number in integer parameter families of elliptic curves

Number Theory 2021-05-03 v2

Abstract

In a previous article, the author proves that the value of the root number varies in a non-isotrivial family of elliptic curves indexed by one parameter tt running through Q\mathbb{Q}. However, a well-known example of Washington has root number 1-1 for every fiber when tt runs through Z\mathbb{Z}. Such examples are rare since, as proven in this paper, the root number of the integer fibers varies for a large class of families of elliptic curves. Our results depends on the squarefree conjecture and Chowla's conjecture, and are unconditional in many cases.
