Catalan-number conjecture for odd moments of elliptic-curve families
Consider a one-parameter family of elliptic curves with rank . Let denote the st moment, and let be the th Catalan number:
For , the proposed leading term has order .
Catalan-number odd-moment conjecture. The average value of the main term of the st moment is
This conjecture unifies the proposed formulas for the third, fifth, and seventh moments through Catalan numbers. It is motivated by numerical data and is not proved in the source; it remains open.
