Explicit descent interfaces for X₁(13) #

The order-thirteen parameter curve is the genus-two sextic

y² = x⁶ + 2x⁵ + x⁴ + 2x³ + 6x² + 4x + 1.

This file records algebraic inputs to the classical Mazur--Tate 19-isogeny descent which can be checked without a genus-two Jacobian implementation.

The rational transformation

(x,y) ↦ (-1/(x+1), y/(x+1)³)

preserves the sextic and has cube equal to the hyperelliptic involution. The quotient by its order-three square is the conic

v² = u² + 2u + 5.

We parameterize this conic, identify the cyclic cubic fiber, and homogenize its square discriminant. The discriminant factor is an explicit norm in the quadratic order generated by a primitive sixth root. In that order, 19=(3+2ρ)(5-2ρ); coordinate divisibility criteria for both primes above 19 are proved below.

We also give an explicit polynomial Pell identity of degrees 19 and 16. It is the algebraic function-field certificate underlying the order-19 difference of the two rational points at infinity.

The file does not construct the Jacobian, divisor classes, the induced endomorphism π, fppf cohomology, or the Abel--Jacobi embedding. Consequently it does not assert rank zero or a classification of rational points.
