This improves the upper bound on the rank of the elliptic curve coming from a descent by 3-isogeny, to that coming from a full 3-descent. One ingredient of our work is a new algorithm for solving cubic norm equations, that avoids the need for any S-unit computations. As an application, we show that the elliptic curves with torsion subgroup of order 3 and rank at least 13, found by Eroshkin, have rank exactly 13.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-11-07T12:28:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G05", "11Y40" ], "keywords": [ "selmer groups", "cassels-tate pairing", "solving cubic norm equations", "upper bound", "s-unit computations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
