Diophantine stability for elliptic curves on average

Number Theory 2025-10-27 v3

Abstract

Let KK be a number field and 5\ell \geq 5 a prime number. Mazur and Rubin introduced the notion of diophantine stability for a variety X/KX_{/K} at a prime \ell. We show that there is a positive density set of elliptic curves E/QE_{/\mathbb{Q}} of rank 11 such that E/KE_{/K} is diophantine stable at \ell. This has implications for Hilbert's Tenth Problem over OK\mathscr{O}_K. This problem asks whether there exists an algorithm that decides in finite time whether a finite system of Diophantine equations over OK\mathscr{O}_K has a solution.
