Splitting Field and Generators of a High-Rank Elliptic Surface
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •The paper focuses on the elliptic surface defined by $Y^2=X^3 +t^{360} +1$.
- •It determines the splitting field, which is the smallest extension where all rational points are defined.
- •It finds 68 linearly independent generators for the Mordell-Weil lattice, which is a measure of the curve's complexity.
- •The methodology involves decomposing the surface into simpler components and using symbolic computation.
- •The results are verified using height pairing matrices and specialized software.
