A note on arithmetic progressions on elliptic curves

J. Integer Seq. 6(1), Art. 03.1.3, 5 p., electronic only (2003)

Summary

Summary: Andrew Bremner (Experiment. Math. 8 (1999), 409-413) has described a technique for producing infinite families of elliptic curves containing length 7 and length 8 arithmetic progressions. This note describes another way to produce infinite families of elliptic curves containing length 7 and length 8 arithmetic progressions. We illustrate how the technique articulated here gives an easy way to produce an elliptic curve containing a length 12 progression and an infinite family of elliptic curves containing a length 9 progression, with the caveat that these curves are not in Weierstrass form.
