Klagsbrun–Mazur–Rubin average-rank conjecture for quadratic twists

Let KK be a number field, let EE be an elliptic curve over KK, and let C(K,X)C(K,X) denote the set of quadratic characters of KK of norm less than XX. Write EχE^\chi for the quadratic twist of EE by χ\chi, rk(Eχ)\operatorname{rk}(E^\chi) for its analytic rank, and let

κ=vκv,\kappa=\prod_v\kappa_v,

where the local factors κv\kappa_v are defined in the source. Klagsbrun–Mazur–Rubin conjecture. The average analytic rank of the quadratic twists of EE satisfies

limXχC(K,X)rk(Eχ)C(K,X)=1+(1)rk(E)κ2.\lim_{X\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\displaystyle\sum_{\chi\in C(K,X)}\operatorname{rk}(E^\chi)}{|C(K,X)|}=\frac{1+(-1)^{\operatorname{rk}(E)}\kappa}{2}.

The paper's parity theorem gives the corresponding expected parity distribution. Combined with the Birch–Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture and the heuristic that twists of rank at least 22 are rare, this supports the displayed average-rank prediction; the source does not establish the conjecture itself.
