Abstract

In this paper, we give the method of constructing non-torsion points on elliptic curves, which generalizes the classical Birch lemma. As an application, we get more quadratic twist families of the elliptic curve \(X_0(49)\), which have rank one. This report is a combination of the two joint works (Coates, Li, Tian, Zhai, Proc Lond Math Soc 110(2), 357–394, 2015, [4]; Cai, Li, Wang, Sci China Math 59(7), 1307–1326, 2016, [2]).
