Our main objective in this paper is to study the average rank of the $2$-Selmer group of the elliptic curve associated with the $\frac{\pi}{3}$-congruent number problem. Following Heath-Brown's strategy, we could find an asymptotic formula…

We study the structure of the Mordell--Weil group of elliptic curves over number fields of degree 2, 3, and 4. We show that if $T$ is a group, then either the class of all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with torsion subgroup $T$ is…

In 2016, Balakrishnan-Ho-Kaplan-Spicer-Stein-Weigandt produced a database of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ ordered by height in which they computed the rank, the size of the $2$-Selmer group, and other arithmetic invariants. They…

In this paper we investigate the 2-Selmer rank in families of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over arbitrary number fields. We give sufficient conditions on an elliptic curve so that it has twists of arbitrary 2-Selmer rank, and we give…

This paper presents empirical evidence supporting Goldfeld's conjecture on the average analytic rank of a family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve in the function field setting. In particular, we consider representatives of the…

We characterize the distribution of 2-Selmer ranks of quadratic twists of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with full rational 2-torsion. We propose a new type of random alternating matrix model $M_{*,\mathbf…

For any family of elliptic curves over the rational numbers with fixed $j$-invariant, we prove that the existence of a long sequence of rational points whose $x$-coordinates form a non-trivial arithmetic progression implies that the…

In this article, we produce infinite families of non-congruent numbers in the residue class of $1,2,$ and $3$ modulo $8$ with arbitrarily many triples or quadruples prime factors. In short, we use Monsky matrix to show that the $2$-Selmer…

We give some heuristics for counting elliptic curves with certain properties. In particular, we re-derive the Brumer-McGuinness heuristic for the number of curves with positive/negative discriminant up to $X$, which is an application of…

We present an heuristic argument for the prediction of expected Mordell-Weil rank of elliptic curves over number fields, using Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer's original conjecture and Sato-Tate conjectures. We do calculations in some cases and…

We combine the exact counting of all elliptic curves over $K = \mathbb{F}_q(t)$ with $\mathrm{char}(K) > 3$ by Bejleri, Satriano and the author, together with the torsion-free nature of most elliptic curves over global function fields…

Fix an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $F$ and an integer $n$ which is a power of $3$. We study the growth of the Mordell--Weil rank of $E$ after base change to the fields $K_d = F(\sqrt[2n]{d})$. If $E$ admits a $3$-isogeny, then we…

A weaker form of a 1979 conjecture of Goldfeld states that for every elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, a positive proportion of its quadratic twists $E^{(d)}$ have rank 1. Using tools from Galois cohomology, we give criteria on E and d which…
