Abstract:
Given a generic Mordell-Weil group over a function field, we can specialize it down to a number field. It has been known for some time that the resulting homomorphism of groups is injective "infinitely often". We prove that this is in fact true "almost always", in a sense that is quantitatively nearly best possible.References
