Rank stability of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ in residue classes

Fix a prime $\ell$. Let $K = \mathbb{F}_q(t)$ be a global function field such that $\gcd(q,6) = 1$ and $q \equiv 1 \pmod \ell$. Let $E$ be a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over $K$. Given a fixed monic polynomial $Q$ over $\mathbb{F}_q$, and assuming some mild conditions on $E$, we show that the rank of $E$ does not cha...
