Abstract

Let EE be an elliptic curve over Q\mathbb{Q} described by y2=x3+Kx+Ly^2= x^3+ Kx+ L where K,LQK, L \in \mathbb{Q}. A set of rational points (xi,yi)E(Q)(x_i,y_i) \in E(\mathbb{Q}) for i=1,2,,ki=1, 2, \cdots, k, is said to be a sequence of consecutive cubes on EE if the xx-coordinates of the points xix_i's for i=1,2,i=1, 2, \cdots form consecutive cubes. In this note, we show the existence of an infinite family of elliptic curves containing a length-55-term sequence of consecutive cubes. Morever, these five rational points in E(Q)E (\mathbb{Q}) are linearly independent and the rank rr of E(Q)E(\mathbb{Q}) is at least 55.
