A formula for the rank over ℚ(t) of the elliptic curve y2=x3+At6+Bt3+C
Abstract
In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the rank and generators (up to finite index) over ℚ(t) of all non-trivial elliptic curves of the form y2=x3+At6+Bt3+C, which is a larger class of elliptic surfaces than the one in Kloosterman's paper (2026) and Desjardins and Naskrecki's paper (2024), namely y2=x3+At6+C. Our proof provides a new method to find this formula using generators of the geometric Mordell-Weil group while this geometric Mordell-Weil group (which is a ℤ[ω]-module) no longer decomposes into rank-one submodules by the methods in Kloosterman's paper (2026) and Desjardins and Naskrecki's paper (2024). Moreover, our proof uses only a few elements in the Galois group of the coordinates of the generators and only light computations by hand.
