Goldfeld’s conjecture: densities and mean analytic rank. Proves Goldfeld's conjecture for quadratic twists of every elliptic curve over ℚ: analytic ranks zero and one each have density 1/2, and the mean analytic rank tends to 1/2. Both statements order signed squarefree twist parameters by absolute value.

We prove Goldfeld's analytic density conjecture: for every elliptic curve E over ℚ, the quadratic twists of E with analytic rank zero and one each have density 1/2 among signed squarefree twist parameters ordered by absolute value. We also prove the low-corank 2-converse: if the $2^\infty$-Selmer corank of E is zero or one, then it equals the analytic and Mordell–Weil ranks, and the Tate–Shafarevich group is finite.

For every elliptic curve over ℚ, we prove that the average analytic rank of its quadratic twists tends to 1/2 when signed squarefree twist parameters are ordered by absolute value. This resolves Goldfeld's mean analytic-rank conjecture in this counting convention.
