Abstract
We study various properties of the family of elliptic curves x+1/x+y+1/y+t = 0, which is isomorphic to the Weierstrass curve . This equation arises from the study of the Mahler measure of polynomials. We show that the rank of is 0 and the torsion subgroup of is isomorphic to . Over the rational field we obtain infinite subfamilies of ranks (at least) one and two, and find specific instances of Et with rank 5 and 6. We also determine all possible torsion subgroups of and conclude with some results regarding integral points in arithmetic progression on Et .
