Reduction of the exceptional cubic modulo five #

This file is an exact-pin integration test for the reduction-at-a-prime API. It treats the integral model

y² = x³ + 2x² - 3x

of the exceptional cubic used in the Mazur theorem development. Reduction at (5) is injective on rational torsion, and the reduced curve has exactly eight points. Consequently, once finiteness of the rational point group is supplied by the independent descent argument, the rational point group has cardinality at most eight.

              Reduction at five is injective on rational torsion.

              If the rational point group is finite, reduction at five is injective on all of it.

              Once an independent descent supplies finiteness, the exceptional cubic has at most eight rational points.
