Elliptic curve involving subfamilies of rank at least 5 over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ or $\mathbb{Q}(t,k)$

Abstract

Motivated by the work of Zargar and Zamani, we introduce a family of elliptic curves containing several one- (respectively two-) parameter subfamilies of high rank over the function field $\mathbb{Q}(t)$ (respectively $\mathbb{Q}(t,k)$). Following the approach of Moody, we construct two subfamilies of infinitely many elliptic curves of rank at least 5 over $\mathbb{Q}(t,k)$. Secondly, we deduce two other subfamilies of this family, induced by the edges of a rational cuboid containing five independent $\mathbb{Q}(t)$-rational points. Finally, we give a new subfamily induced by Diophantine triples with rank at least 5 over $\mathbb{Q}(t)$. By specialization, we obtain some specific examples of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ with a high rank (8, 9, 10 and 11).
