Park–Poonen–Voight–Wood conjecture on the distribution of elliptic-curve ranks

Let elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q} be ordered by height, and let algebraic rank denote Mordell–Weil rank. Park–Poonen–Voight–Wood conjecture. (i) The proportion of elliptic curves with algebraic rank 00 and the proportion with algebraic rank 11 are both 12\frac 12. (ii) There are only finitely many elliptic curves with algebraic rank >21>21. (iii) For 1r201\leq r\leq 20, the proportion of elliptic curves over Q\mathbb{Q} with algebraic rank at least rr and height at most XX is X21r24+o(1)X^{\frac{21-r}{24}+o(1)}. This refines the minimalist conjecture by predicting the distribution of higher algebraic ranks; the source attributes it to Park, Poonen, Voight, and Wood and does not state a resolution.
