The even parity Goldfeld conjecture: Congruent number elliptic curves

Abstract

In 1979 Goldfeld conjectured: 50% of the quadratic twists of an elliptic curve defined over the rationals have analytic rank zero. In this expository article we present a few recent developments towards the conjecture, especially its first instance - the congruent number elliptic curves.
