On the quadratic twist of elliptic curves with full 2-torsion

Abstract

Let E: y2=x(x-a2)(x+b2) be an elliptic curve with full 2-torsion group, where a and b are coprime integers and 2(a2+b2) is a square. Assume that the 2-Selmer group of E has rank two. We characterize all quadratic twists of E with Mordell-Weil rank zero and 2-primary Shafarevich-Tate groups ( Z/2 Z)2, under certain conditions. We also obtain a distribution result of these elliptic curves.
