Seven-adic certificates for the level-seven CM loci #
The quadratic t² + 245t + 2401 and the quartic
t⁴ - 490t³ - 21609t² - 235298t - 823543 cut out the complex
multiplication fibres (over j = 0 and j = 1728) of the degeneracy
loci of level-seven hauptmodul correspondences. Neither has a rational
root: the quadratic dies modulo eight and the quartic modulo five.
Both facts are shared by the X₀(21) and X₀(49) transfer files.
