Abstract

Let kCk \subset {\mathbb C} be a number field and E{\mathcal E} be an elliptic curve defined over k(t)k(t), the rational function field of the projective line Pk1{\mathbb P}^1_k, is isomorphic to the generic fiber of an elliptic surface π:=\Sc\EePk1\pi:= \Sc_\Ee \rightarrow {\mathbb P}^1_k. For any subfield KC{\mathcal K}\subseteq {\mathbb C} of kk, the set E(K(t)){\mathcal E}({\mathcal K}(t)) of K(t){\mathcal K}(t)-rational points of E{\mathcal E} is known to be a finitely generated abelian group. The splitting field of E{\mathcal E} defined over k(t)k(t) is the smallest finite extension KC{\mathcal K} \subset {\mathbb C} of kk such that E(C(t))\isoE(K(t)){\mathcal E} ({\mathbb C} (t)) \iso {\mathcal E} ({\mathcal K}(t)). In this paper, we consider the elliptic K3K3 surfaces defined over k=Qk={\mathbb Q} with the generic fiber given by the Weierstrass equation En:y2=x3+tn+1/tn{\mathcal E}_n: \displaystyle y^2=x^3 + t^n + 1/t^n, 1n61\leq n\leq 6, and determine the splitting field Kn{\mathcal K}_n, and find an explicit set of independent generators for En(Kn(t)){\mathcal E}_n ({\mathcal K_n}(t)) for 1n61\leq n \leq 6.
