Heegner points on elliptic curves over the rational numbers¶

AUTHORS:

William Stein (August 2009)– most of the initial version

Robert Bradshaw (July 2009) – an early version of some specific code

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('433a')
sage: P = E.heegner_point(-8,3)
sage: z = P.point_exact(200); z
(-4/3 : 1/27*a - 4/27 : 1)
sage: parent(z)
Abelian group of points on Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + x*y = x^3 + 1 over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 - 44*x + 1159
sage: parent(z[0]).discriminant()
-3
sage: E.quadratic_twist(-3).rank()
1
sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField(-8)
sage: K.factor(3)
(Fractional ideal (1/2*a + 1)) * (Fractional ideal (-1/2*a + 1))

Next try an inert prime:

sage: K.factor(5)
Fractional ideal (5)
sage: P = E.heegner_point(-8,5)
sage: z = P.point_exact(300)
sage: z[0].charpoly().factor()
(x^6 + x^5 - 1/4*x^4 + 19/10*x^3 + 31/20*x^2 - 7/10*x + 49/100)^2
sage: z[1].charpoly().factor()
x^12 - x^11 + 6/5*x^10 - 33/40*x^9 - 89/320*x^8 + 3287/800*x^7 - 5273/1600*x^6 + 993/4000*x^5 + 823/320*x^4 - 2424/625*x^3 + 12059/12500*x^2 + 3329/25000*x + 123251/250000
sage: f = P.x_poly_exact(300); f
x^6 + x^5 - 1/4*x^4 + 19/10*x^3 + 31/20*x^2 - 7/10*x + 49/100
sage: f.discriminant().factor()
-1 * 2^-9 * 5^-9 * 7^2 * 281^2 * 1021^2

We find some Mordell-Weil generators in the rank 1 case using Heegner points:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('43a'); P = E.heegner_point(-7)
sage: P.x_poly_exact()
x
sage: P.point_exact()
(0 : 0 : 1)

sage: E = EllipticCurve('997a')
sage: E.rank()
1
sage: E.heegner_discriminants_list(10)
[-19, -23, -31, -35, -39, -40, -52, -55, -56, -59]
sage: P = E.heegner_point(-19)
sage: P.x_poly_exact()
x - 141/49
sage: P.point_exact()
(141/49 : -162/343 : 1)

Here we find that the Heegner point generates a subgroup of index 3:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('92b1')
sage: E.heegner_discriminants_list(1)
[-7]
sage: P = E.heegner_point(-7); z = P.point_exact(); z
(0 : 1 : 1)
sage: E.regulator()
0.0498083972980648
sage: z.height()
0.448275575682583
sage: P = E(1,1); P # a generator
(1 : 1 : 1)
sage: -3*P
(0 : 1 : 1)
sage: E.tamagawa_product()
3

The above is consistent with the following analytic computation:

sage: E.heegner_index(-7)
3.0000?

EXAMPLES:

We find (probably) the definining polynomial of the $x$ -coordinate of $P$ , which defines a class field. The shape of the discriminant below is strong confirmation – but not proof – that this polynomial is correct:

Compute image of the Kolyvagin divisor $P_c$ in $E(\GF{\ell^2}) / p E(\GF{\ell^2})$ . Note that this image is by definition only well defined up to scalars.

EXAMPLES:

We first try to verify Kolyvagin’s conjecture for a rank 2 curve by working modulo 5, but we are unlucky with $c=17$ :

sage: N = 389; D = -7; ell = 5; c = 17; q = 3
sage: H = heegner_points(N).reduce_mod(ell)
sage: V = H.modp_dual_elliptic_curve_factor(EllipticCurve('389a'), q, 5)
sage: k118 = H.kolyvagin_sigma_operator(D, c, 118)
sage: k104 = H.kolyvagin_sigma_operator(D, c, 104)
sage: [b.dot_product(k104.element().change_ring(GF(3))) for b in V.basis()]
[0, 0]
sage: [b.dot_product(k118.element().change_ring(GF(3))) for b in V.basis()]
[0, 0]

Next we try again with $c=41$ and this does work, in that we get something nonzero, when dotting with V:

sage: c = 41
sage: k118 = H.kolyvagin_sigma_operator(D, c, 118)
sage: k104 = H.kolyvagin_sigma_operator(D, c, 104)
sage: [b.dot_product(k118.element().change_ring(GF(3))) for b in V.basis()]
[1, 0]
sage: [b.dot_product(k104.element().change_ring(GF(3))) for b in V.basis()]

By the way, the above is the first ever provable verification of Kolyvagin’s conjecture for any curve of rank at least 2.

The Heegner hypothesis is checked:

...
ValueError: N (=389) and D (=-5) must satisfy the Heegner hypothesis

We can specify the quadratic form:

sage: P.quadratic_form()

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.heegner_index(self, D, min_p=2, prec=5, descent_second_limit=12, verbose_mwrank=False)¶

Return an interval that contains the index of the Heegner point $y_K$ in the group of $K$ -rational points modulo torsion on this elliptic curve, computed using the Gross-Zagier formula and/or a point search, or possibly half the index if the rank is greater than one.

Note

If min_p is bigger than 2 then the index can be off by any prime less than min_p. This function returns the index divided by $2$ exactly when the rank of $E(K)$ is greater than 1 and $E(\QQ)_{/tor} \oplus E^D(\QQ)_{/tor}$ has index $2$ in $E(K)_{/tor}$ , where the second factor undergoes a twist.

INPUT:

D (int) - Heegner discriminant
min_p (int) - (default: 2) only rule out primes = min_p dividing the index.
verbose_mwrank (bool) - (default: False); print lots of mwrank search status information when computing regulator
prec (int) - (default: 5), use prec*sqrt(N) + 20 terms of L-series in computations, where N is the conductor.
descent_second_limit - (default: 12)- used in 2-descent when computing regulator of the twist

OUTPUT: an interval that contains the index, or half the index

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: E.heegner_discriminants(50)
[-7, -8, -19, -24, -35, -39, -40, -43]
sage: E.heegner_index(-7)
1.00000?

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37b')
sage: E.heegner_discriminants(100)
[-3, -4, -7, -11, -40, -47, -67, -71, -83, -84, -95]
sage: E.heegner_index(-95)          # long time (1 second)
2.00000?

This tests doing direct computation of the Mordell-Weil group.

sage: EllipticCurve('675b').heegner_index(-11)
3.0000?

Currently discriminants -3 and -4 are not supported:

sage: E.heegner_index(-3)
...
ArithmeticError: Discriminant (=-3) must not be -3 or -4.

The curve 681b returns the true index, which is $3$ :

sage: E = EllipticCurve('681b')
sage: I = E.heegner_index(-8); I
3.0000?

In fact, whenever the returned index has a denominator of $2$ , the true index is got by multiplying the returned index by $2$ . Unfortunately, this is not an if and only if condition, i.e., sometimes the index must be multiplied by $2$ even though the denominator is not $2$ .

This example demonstrates the $descent_second_limit$ option, which can be used to fine tune the 2-descent used to compute the regulator of the twist:

sage: E = EllipticCurve([0, 0, 1, -34874, -2506691])
sage: E.heegner_index(-8)
...
RuntimeError: ...

However when we search higher, we find the points we need:

sage: E.heegner_index(-8, descent_second_limit=16)
1.00000?

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.heegner_index_bound(self, D=0, prec=5, max_height=None)¶

Assume self has rank 0.

Return a list $v$ of primes such that if an odd prime $p$ divides the index of the Heegner point in the group of rational points modulo torsion, then $p$ is in $v$ .

If 0 is in the interval of the height of the Heegner point computed to the given prec, then this function returns $v = 0$ . This does not mean that the Heegner point is torsion, just that it is very likely torsion.

If we obtain no information from a search up to max_height, e.g., if the Siksek et al. bound is bigger than max_height, then we return $v = -1$ .

INPUT:

D (int) - (default: 0) Heegner discriminant; if 0, use the first discriminant -4 that satisfies the Heegner hypothesis
verbose (bool) - (default: True)
prec (int) - (default: 5), use $prec \cdot \sqrt(N) + 20$ terms of $L$ -series in computations, where $N$ is the conductor.
max_height (float) - should be = 21; bound on logarithmic naive height used in point searches. Make smaller to make this function faster, at the expense of possibly obtaining a worse answer. A good range is between 13 and 21.

OUTPUT:

v - list or int (bad primes or 0 or -1)
D - the discriminant that was used (this is useful if $D$ was automatically selected).

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
sage: E.heegner_index_bound()
([2], -7)

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.heegner_point(N, D=None, c=1)¶

Return a specific Heegner point of level $N$ with given discriminant and conductor. If $D$ is not specified, then the first valid Heegner discriminant is used. If $c$ is not given, then $c=1$ is used.

INPUT:

$N$ – level (positive integer)

$D$ – discriminant (optional: default first valid $D$ )

$c$ – conductor (positive integer, optional, default: 1)

EXAMPLES:

sage: heegner_point(389)
Heegner point 1/778*sqrt(-7) - 185/778 of discriminant -7 on X_0(389)
sage: heegner_point(389,-7)
Heegner point 1/778*sqrt(-7) - 185/778 of discriminant -7 on X_0(389)
sage: heegner_point(389,-7,5)
Heegner point 5/778*sqrt(-7) - 147/778 of discriminant -7 and conductor 5 on X_0(389)
sage: heegner_point(389,-20)
Heegner point 1/778*sqrt(-20) - 165/389 of discriminant -20 on X_0(389)

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.heegner_point_height(self, D, prec=2)¶

Use the Gross-Zagier formula to compute the Neron-Tate canonical height over $K$ of the Heegner point corresponding to $D$ , as an interval (it’s computed to some precision using $L$ -functions).

INPUT:

D (int) - fundamental discriminant (=/= -3, -4)
prec (int) - (default: 2), use $prec \cdot \sqrt(N) + 20$ terms of $L$ -series in computations, where $N$ is the conductor.

OUTPUT: Interval that contains the height of the Heegner point.

EXAMPLE:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: E.heegner_point_height(-7)
0.22227?

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.heegner_points(N, D=None, c=None)¶

Return all Heegner points of given level $N$ . Can also restrict to Heegner points with specified discriminant $D$ and optionally conductor $c$ .

INPUT:

$N$ – level (positive integer)

$D$ – discriminant (negative integer)

$c$ – conductor (positive integer)

EXAMPLES:

sage: heegner_points(389,-7)
Set of all Heegner points on X_0(389) associated to QQ[sqrt(-7)]
sage: heegner_points(389,-7,1)
All Heegner points of conductor 1 on X_0(389) associated to QQ[sqrt(-7)]
sage: heegner_points(389,-7,5)
All Heegner points of conductor 5 on X_0(389) associated to QQ[sqrt(-7)]

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.heegner_sha_an(self, D, prec=53)¶

Return the conjectural (analytic) order of Sha for E over the field $K=\QQ(\sqrt{D})$ .

INPUT:

$D$ – negative integer; the Heegner discriminant
prec – integer (default: 53); bits of precision to compute analytic order of Sha

OUTPUT:

(floating point number) an approximation to the conjectural order of Sha.

Note

Often you’ll want to do proof.elliptic_curve(False) when using this function, since often the twisted elliptic curves that come up have enormous conductor, and Sha is nontrivial, which makes provably finding the Mordell-Weil group using 2-descent difficult.

EXAMPLES:

An example where E has conductor 11:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-7)                                  # long
1.00000000000000

The cache works:

sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-7) is E.heegner_sha_an(-7)          # long
True

Lower precision:

sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-7,10)                               # long
1.0

Checking that the cache works for any precision:

sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-7,10) is E.heegner_sha_an(-7,10)    # long
True

Next we consider a rank 1 curve with nontrivial Sha over the quadratic imaginary field $K$ ; however, there is no Sha for $E$ over $\QQ$ or for the quadratic twist of $E$ :

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-40)                                 # long
4.00000000000000
sage: E.quadratic_twist(-40).sha().an()                     # long
1
sage: E.sha().an()                                          # long
1

A rank 2 curve:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('389a')                             # long
sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-7)                                  # long
1.00000000000000

If we remove the hypothesis that $E(K)$ has rank 1 in Conjecture 2.3 in [Gross-Zagier, 1986, page 311], then that conjecture is false, as the following example shows:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('65a')                              # long
sage: E.heegner_sha_an(-56)                                 # long
1.00000000000000
sage: E.torsion_order()                                     # long
2
sage: E.tamagawa_product()                                  # long
1
sage: E.quadratic_twist(-56).rank()                         # long
2

INPUT:

$N$ – level (positive integer)

$E$ – elliptic curve or None

$D$ – negative fundamental discriminant

sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.make_monic(3*x^3 + 14*x^2 - 7*x + 5)
(x^3 + 14*x^2 - 21*x + 45, 3)

In this example we verify that make_monic does what we claim it does:

sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 + 17*x - 3)
sage: f = (a/7+2/3).minpoly(); f
x^3 - 2*x^2 + 247/147*x - 4967/9261
sage: g, d = sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.make_monic(f)
sage: g
x^3 - 18522*x^2 + 144110421*x - 426000323007
sage: d
9261
sage: K.<b> = NumberField(g)
sage: (b/d).minpoly()
x^3 - 2*x^2 + 247/147*x - 4967/9261

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.nearby_rational_poly(f, **kwds)¶

Return a polynomial whose coefficients are rational numbers close to the coefficients of $f$ .

INPUT:

$f$ – polynomial with real floating point entries

**kwds – passed on to nearby_rational method

EXAMPLES:

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.quadratic_order(D, c, names='a')¶

Return order of conductor $c$ in quadratic field with fundamental discriminant $D$ .

INPUT:

$D$ – fundamental discriminant

$c$ – conductor

names – string (default: ‘a’)

OUTPUT:

order $R$ of conductor $c$ in an imaginary quadratic field

the element $c\sqrt{D}$ as an element of $R$

The generator for the field is named ‘a’ by default.

EXAMPLES:

sage: sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.quadratic_order(-7,3)
(Order in Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 + 7, 3*a)
sage: sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.quadratic_order(-7,3,'alpha')
(Order in Number Field in alpha with defining polynomial x^2 + 7, 3*alpha)

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.satisfies_heegner_hypothesis(self, D)¶

Returns True precisely when $D$ is a fundamental discriminant that satisfies the Heegner hypothesis for this elliptic curve.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
sage: E.satisfies_heegner_hypothesis(-7)
True
sage: E.satisfies_heegner_hypothesis(-11)
False

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.satisfies_weak_heegner_hypothesis(N, D)¶

Check that $D$ satisfies the weak Heegner hypothesis relative to $N$ . This is all that is needed to define Heegner points.

The condition is that $D<0$ is a fundamental discriminant and that each unramified prime dividing $N$ splits in $K=\QQ(\sqrt{D})$ and each ramified prime exactly divides $N$ . We also do not require that $D<-4$ .

INPUT:

$N$ – positive integer

$D$ – negative integer

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.satisfies_weak_heegner_hypothesis
sage: s(37,-7)
True
sage: s(37,-37)
False
sage: s(37,-37*4)
True
sage: s(100,-4)
False
sage: [D for D in [-1,-2,..,-40] if s(37,D)]
[-3, -4, -7, -11, -40]
sage: [D for D in [-1,-2,..,-100] if s(37,D)]
[-3, -4, -7, -11, -40, -47, -67, -71, -83, -84, -95]
sage: EllipticCurve('37a').heegner_discriminants_list(10)
[-7, -11, -40, -47, -67, -71, -83, -84, -95, -104]

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.simplest_rational_poly(f, prec)¶

Return a polynomial whose coefficients are as simple as possible rationals that are also close to the coefficients of f.

INPUT:

$f$ – polynomial with real floating point entries

prec – positive integer

EXAMPLES:

sage: R.<x> = RR[]
sage: sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.heegner.simplest_rational_poly(2.1*x^2 + 3.5*x - 1.2, 53)
21/10*X^2 + 7/2*X - 6/5
