  1. Abstract Fix a positive integernand a finite field$${\mathbb {F}}_q$$ F q . We study the joint distribution of the rank$${{\,\mathrm{rk}\,}}(E)$$ rk ( E ) , then-Selmer group$$\text {Sel}_n(E)$$ Sel n ( E ) , and then-torsion in the Tate–Shafarevich group Equation missing<#comment/>asEvaries over elliptic curves of fixed height$$d \ge 2$$ d 2 over$${\mathbb {F}}_q(t)$$ F q ( t ) . We compute this joint distribution in the largeqlimit. We also show that the “largeq, then large height” limit of this distribution agrees with the one predicted by Bhargava–Kane–Lenstra–Poonen–Rains.
