Let T be one of 26 admissible torsion groups for
an elliptic curve over a quadratic field [KM,Ka].
We define B(T) as the supremum of the ranks
of elliptic curves defined over any quadratic field and having torsion group T
(for the trivial torsion group we put T = 0).
In the following table, in the second column we give the best known
lower bounds for B(T),
while the third column gives
the values d (smallest in absolute value) of the corresponding quadratic number fields
Values in the brackets in the second column are conditional, assuming
the Parity Conjecture.

The marks * in the table refer to the curves obtained by an application
of Mestre's general construction
(he proved that for any elliptic curve E over Q there exist infinitely
many quadratic twists with rank ≥ 2)
which produces quadratic fields with huge discriminants.
