Explicit Chabauty-Kim for the Split Cartan Modular Curve of Level 13

Number Theory 2017-11-17 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We extend the explicit quadratic Chabauty methods developed in previous work by the first two authors to the case of non-hyperelliptic curves. This results in an algorithm to compute the rational points on a curve of genus g2g \ge 2 over the rationals whose Jacobian has Mordell-Weil rank gg and Picard number greater than one, and which satisfies some additional conditions. This algorithm is then applied to the modular curve Xs(13)X_{s}(13), completing the classification of non-CM elliptic curves over Q\mathbf{Q} with split Cartan level structure due to Bilu-Parent and Bilu-Parent-Rebolledo.
