Abstract

A question of Mazur asks whether for any non-constant elliptic fibration {Er}r∈ℚ, the set {r∈ℚ: rank(Er(ℚ))>0}, if infinite, is dense in ℝ (with respect to the Euclidean topology). This has been proved to be true for the family of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve by a quadratic or a cubic polynomial. Here we settle Mazur's question affirmatively for the general quadratic and cubic fibrations. Moreover we show that our method works when is ℚ replaced by any real number field.
