Journal ArticleDOI

Minimisation and reduction of 2-, 3- and 4-coverings of elliptic curves

TL;DR: Theorems on the existence of minimal models with the same invariants as the minimal model of the Jacobian elliptic curve are proved and simple algorithms for minimising a given model are provided, valid over general number fields.
Journal ArticleDOI

Some examples of 5 and 7 descent for elliptic curves over Q

TL;DR: In this article, descent calculations for the families of elliptic curves over Q with a rational point of order n = 5 or 7 were performed, which gave an estimate for the Mordell-Weil rank which was related to the parity conjecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

The invariants of a genus one curve

TL;DR: The invariants required for curves of degree n=2, 3, 4 were already known to the nineteenth century invariant theorists as mentioned in this paper, and they were used to compute the Jacobian of a genus one curve.
Journal ArticleDOI

EXPLICIT n-DESCENT ON ELLIPTIC CURVES I. ALGEBRA

TL;DR: In this article, the n-Selmer group of an elliptic curve is studied, with the aim of representing its elements as genus one normal curves of degree n. The methods described are practical in the case n = 3 for elliptic curves over the rationals and have been implemented in MAGMA.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Hessian of a genus one curve

TL;DR: The development of the invariant theory of genus one curves is continued, and explicit formulae and algorithms for computing the Hessian are given, which leads to a practical algorithm for computing equations for visible elements of order n in the Tate—Shafarevich group of an elliptic curve.
