Selmer ranks under quadratic twists satisfying the Heegner hypothesis

Number Theory 2025-10-28 v1

Abstract

We investigate variations of Selmer ranks under quadratic twists satisfying the Heegner hypothesis. In particular, starting with an elliptic curve E/QE/\mathbb{Q} with partial 22-torsion and a common relaxed Selmer group, we derive explicit formulae describing the effect of twisting on Selmer ranks in terms of matrices over F2\mathbb{F}_{2}. As an application, we show that these formulae are compatible with predictions made by the parity conjecture.
