A heuristic for boundedness of ranks of elliptic curves

We present a heuristic that suggests that ranks of elliptic curves E over Q are bounded. In fact, it suggests that there are only finitely many E of rank greater than 21. Our heuristic is based on modeling the ranks and Shafarevich-Tate groups of elliptic curves simultaneously, and relies on a theor...
