High rank elliptic curves with prescribed torsion over quadratic fields

Maintained by Andrej Dujella, University of Zagreb

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 of the corresponding quadratic number fields K = Q(√d).
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.
