The two-isogeny descent for the X₀(49) model #
The modular curve X₀(49) is the conductor-49 elliptic curve
y² + xy = x³ - x² - 2x - 1; completing the square and shifting gives the
model
y² = x(x² + 21x + 112)
used here. The two-isogenous curve is Y² = X(X² - 42X - 7). The
original descent images are {1, 7}: negative classes die by positivity,
and the classes 2 and 14 die modulo eight. The dual images are
{1, -7}: the classes -1 and 7 die by a two-step seven-adic descent.
Consequently every rational point lies in one of the two cosets of
doubling represented by 0 and (0,0), the group is finitely generated
of rank zero, and, since the curve has no rational point of order four and
reduction modulo three bounds the cardinality by four, the rational point
group is exactly {0, (0,0)}.

Instances For
The dual squareclasses -1 and 7 are impossible #
Dual abscissas have squareclass 1 or -7 #
Curve abscissas have squareclass 1, 2, 7, or 14 #
Reverse doubling from a square abscissa #
A nonzero rational point whose abscissa is a square is divisible by
two. If the first auxiliary dual abscissa has squareclass -7, its
conjugate (their product is -7) is a square and gives the same doubling
abscissa.
