A hyperelliptic model for the order-thirteen parameter curve #
This file gives a checked rational map from the reduced Tate-parameter equation
in OrderThirteenReduction to the standard sextic model
y² = x⁶ + 2x⁵ + x⁴ + 2x³ + 6x² + 4x + 1.
The map is obtained by elementary completion of the square after resolving the
singular plane model. Its only denominators are s-1 and r-s; both were
already proved nonzero from exact order in the preceding reduction.
The two rational affine cusp abscissas on the sextic are 0 and -1. The
forward image of an exact-order certificate has neither abscissa: x = 0
would discard r-1 or s-1, while x = -1 would discard the separately
retained factor rs-2r+1.
The hyperelliptic ordinate attached to a reduced Tate certificate.
Writing U = (r-1)(s-1)/(r-s) and V = (r-s)/(1-s), the intermediate
quadratic model is
V² + (U³-U²-1)V - U² + U = 0.
Completing its square and replacing U by -x gives the displayed formula.
