Most odd degree hyperelliptic curves have only one rational point

Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y [superscript 2] = f(x) with f(x) ∈Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g ≥ 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower bound on this fraction that tends to 1 as g→∞. Fi...
