For elliptic curves with large 3-torsion Galois image, the Selmer-rank distribution over S3-cubic extensions with a fixed quadratic resolvent is a parity mixture of a universal Markov-chain law, giving a 31.95% lower bound for small rank growth.

abstract
Fix a prime number $p$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of characteristic coprime to 2, 3, and $p$, which also contains the primitive $p$-th root of unity $\mu_p$. Based on the works by Swinnerton-Dyer and Klagsbrun, Mazur, and Rubin, we prove that the probability distribution of the sizes of prime Selmer groups over a family of cyclic prime twists of non-isotrivial elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$ satisfying a number of mild constraints conforms to the distribution conjectured by Bhargava, Kane, Lenstra, Poonen, and Rains with explicit error bounds. The key tools used in proving these results are the Riemann hypothesis over global function fields, the Erd\"os-Kac theorem, and the geometric ergodicity of Markov chains.

Rank growth of elliptic curves over S3 extensions with fixed quadratic resolvents
For elliptic curves with large 3-torsion Galois image, the Selmer-rank distribution over S3-cubic extensions with a fixed quadratic resolvent is a parity mixture of a universal Markov-chain law, giving a 31.95% lower bound for small rank growth.
