We combine Weil's explicit formula with techniques of Heath-Brown to derive an asymptotic upper bound for the weighted moments of the analytic rank of $E_D$. It follows from this that, for any unbounded increasing function $f$ on $\\R$, the analytic rank and (assuming in addition the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture) the number of integral points of $E_D$ are less than $f(D)$ for almost all $D$. We also derive an upper bound for the density of low-lying zeros of $L(E_D, s)$ which is compatible with the random matrix models of Katz and Sarnak.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-03-28T21:37:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G05", "11M41", "11G40" ], "keywords": [ "elliptic curve", "analytic rank", "random matrix models", "weils explicit formula", "asymptotic upper bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math......3369W" } } }
