    Abstract: We prove that rank-zero elliptic curves over generate positive-rank elliptic curves through the unit circle, via quadratic twisted models . This construction demonstrates rank evolution from zero to infinite rational points, complementing high-rank families. All rank-zero status and positive-rank emergence rigorously verified computationally. SMC(2... Show More

    Abstract: The study of operator theory, specifically the determination of the norm of general derivations in C* algebras, has attracted significant attention in recent years. This problem has been approached through various methods across different spaces, yielding several results. The norm of a general derivation is crucial for understanding the structure a... Show More
