Unbounded rank conjecture for the family Ek:x3+y3=kE_k:x^3+y^3=k

For positive cubefree integers kk, consider the elliptic curves

Ek:x3+y3=k.E_k:x^3+y^3=k.

Their rank is the rank of the finitely generated group Ek(Q)E_k(\mathbb{Q}). Unbounded rank conjecture for EkE_k. There exist elliptic curves EkE_k with arbitrarily large rank over Q\mathbb{Q}. This is presented as a widely believed conjecture. The paper constructs examples in this family of ranks 88, 99, 1010, and 1111, but no general proof of unboundedness is given.
