Quantitative rank distribution conjecture over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$

Number Theory 2026-02-17 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We combine the exact counting of all elliptic curves over K=Fq(t)K = \mathbb{F}_q(t) with char(K)>3\mathrm{char}(K) > 3 by Bejleri, Satriano and the author, together with the torsion-free nature of most elliptic curves over global function fields proven by Phillips, and the overarching conjecture of Goldfeld and Katz-Sarnak regarding the ``Distribution of Ranks of Elliptic Curves''. Consequently, we arrive at the quantitative statement which naturally renders even finer conjecture regarding the lower order main terms differing for the number of E/KE/K with E(K)=1|E(K)| = 1 and E(K)=ZE(K) = \mathbb{Z}.
