Reduction of binary quadratic forms of discriminant −163 (Phase C, Track 3) #
This file provides the decide-heavy combinatorial inputs of PhaseC-PLAN.md §4.2:
SL₂-equivalence of forms (Equiv), an equivalence relation, with the two generatorsT(shiftb ↦ b + 2an) andS(swap(a,b,c) ↦ (c,−b,a)).- (C6) enumeration of reduced forms (
reduced_disc_neg163): the only positive-definite reduced form of discriminant−163is(1, ±1, 41)— proved bynlinarithboundinga ≤ 7followed byinterval_cases/omega. Together with the descentexists_reduced_equivthis givesh(−163) = 1at the level of forms. - (C5) the three-prime discriminant enumeration (
three_prime_Nand itsℤwrapperdisc_of_three_relations): the only negative discriminantD₀for whicht² − 4m = D₀ λ²is solvable simultaneously form ∈ {41, 43, 61}isD₀ = −163. This is the arithmetic heart of the rationality argument; the trap noted in §6.6 ({41,43,47}fails,−43survives) is what makes the choice of primes load-bearing.
The bridge from these form-level facts to the statement "every CM point of discriminant
−163 is Γ-equivalent to τ₁₆₃" additionally needs the SL₂-action on ℍ matched
with BQF.act; that analytic bookkeeping is deferred (see the closing TODO).
SL₂-equivalence of forms #
Equivalence preserves primitivity.
Reduced forms of discriminant −163 #
The reduction descent: every positive-definite form is equivalent to a reduced one #
(C6), form level. Every positive-definite form of discriminant −163 is
SL₂(ℤ)-equivalent to (1, −1, 41) or (1, 1, 41) — the two (T-related) presentations
of the class of τ₁₆₃. This is h(−163) = 1 for forms.
(C5) The three-prime discriminant enumeration #
For an integer matrix of determinant m fixing a CM point of primitive discriminant D₀,
the trace t and the multiplier λ satisfy t² − 4m = D₀ λ² (= disc · λ², see
QuadraticPoints.det_of_fixes). The following finite computation shows that
D₀ = −163 is the only negative discriminant solvable for all of m ∈ {41, 43, 61}.
Whether D₀ = −(d) is representable as t² − 4m = D₀ λ² within the (generous) search
box |t| ≤ 15, 1 ≤ λ ≤ 9 that contains every genuine solution
(|t|² < 4m ≤ 244 and |D₀| ≥ 3 ⇒ λ² ≤ 4m/3 < 82). Phrased over ℕ for a fast kernel

Instances For
(C5), computational core. The only d ∈ [1, 244] simultaneously representable at
m = 41, 43, 61 is d = 163 (i.e. D₀ = −163). The {41,43,47} trap of §6.6 is exactly
that d = 43 would also survive there; here it does not. Proved in four range chunks so each
decide stays within the default recursion depth.
(C5), integer form. The wrapper consumed by the rationality argument: if a common
CM point of primitive discriminant D₀ ≤ −3 carries integral matrices of determinants
41, 43, 61 (trace tᵢ, non-zero multiplier λᵢ, so tᵢ² − 4mᵢ = D₀ λᵢ²), then
D₀ = −163.
The bridge to ℍ: CM points of discriminant −163 are Γ-equivalent to τ₁₆₃ #
The SL₂(ℤ)-action on forms BQF.act is matched to the Möbius action on ℍ: if
act f p q r s = g (determinant 1) and τ is a root of f, then the point N • τ with
N = ![![s,−q],![−r,p]] ∈ SL₂(ℤ) (the inverse matrix) is a root of g. Combined with the
form-level classification equiv_of_disc_neg163 and the CM-point uniqueness root_unique,
this yields the analytic statement PhaseC-PLAN.md (C6) needs.
Root transport. If act f p q r s = g with p s − q r = 1 and τ is a root of f,
then N • τ is a root of g for the inverse matrix N = ![![s,−q],![−r,p]].
(C6), analytic form. Every CM point of a positive-definite form of discriminant
−163 is SL₂(ℤ)-equivalent to τ₁₆₃.
