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.
The rational order-six symmetry #
The abscissa of the diamond-operator symmetry.
Equations

At a point with nonzero ordinate, the third iterate is not the identity; together with the preceding formulas this certifies the order-six lift.

The rational and integral presentations of the homogeneous discriminant agree under coercion.
For primitive integer parameters, the discriminant norm coordinate
cannot be divisible by both primes above 19.

remaining group-theoretic input needed to certify exact order 19.
