What conditions are sufficient for two points to be independent in the Mordell-Weil group?

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and an elliptic surface $$ \mathcal{E}\!: y^2 + a_1(t)xy + a_3(t)y = x^3 + a_2(t)x^2 + a_4(t)x + a_6(t), $$ where $a_i(t) \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[t]$. I am mainly ...

Is there a way to find any non-trivial $\mathbb{F}_p(t)$-point on the given elliptic curve?

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ (where $p \equiv 1 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 3)$, $p \equiv 3 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 4)$) and the elliptic curve $$ E\!:y^2 = x^3 + (t^6 + 1)^2 $$ over the univariate ...

Is a supersingular Kummer surface $k$-unirational in characteristic 2?

Let $k$ be a perfect field of even characteristic. Consider the simplest example of a supersingular genus 2 curve, i.e., $$ C\!: y^2 + y = x^5. $$ By the article of J. S. Müller "Explicit Kummer ...
