Abstract

Our main objective in this paper is to study the average rank of the 22-Selmer group of the elliptic curve associated with the π3\frac{\pi}{3}-congruent number problem. Following Heath-Brown's strategy, we could find an asymptotic formula for the size of the relaxed 22-Selmer groups, which has several consequences towards the average of 22-Selmer ranks and π3\frac{\pi}{3}-congruent number problem. Indeed, we could find an unconditional positive density of 22-Selmer rank being 11 or 33, among the positive square-free integers n13(mod24)n\equiv 13\pmod{24} having all the prime divisors congruent to 11 modulo 44 and an unconditional positive density of 22-Selmer rank being 00 or 22, among the positive square-free integers n5(mod24)n\equiv 5\pmod{24} having all the prime divisors congruent to 11 modulo 44.
