Abstract
Rizzo showed that the family of elliptic curves , a well-known example of Washington, has root number for all . In this paper we generalize this example and identify the families of small degree on which this phenomenon happens. Motivated by results from David, Bettin and Delaunay (arXiv:1612.03095) and Desjardins (arXiv:1810.12787), we study in detail the two families and and describe necessary and sufficient conditions for which subfamilies of have constant root number on integer fibres. We further prove similar but partial results on . Our results give examples of subfamilies for which there is rank elevation at integer fibres.
