Abstract:We adopt a statistical point of view on the conjecture of Lang which predicts a lower bound for the canonical height of non-torsion rational points on elliptic curves defined over Q. More specifically, we prove that among the family of all elliptic curves defined over Q and having positive rank, there is a density one subfamily of curves which satisfy a strong form of Lang's conjecture.
