Solutions by radicals at singular values k_N from new class invariants for N \equiv 3 mod 8
Abstract
For square-free mod 8 and coprime to 3, I show how to reduce the singular value to radicals, using a novel pair of real numbers that are algebraic integers of the Hilbert class field of . One is a class invariant of modular level 48, with a growth , where is uniquely determined by the residue of modulo 64. Hence is a very economical generator of the class field. For prime mod 4, I conjecture that the Chowla--Selberg formula provides an algebraic {\em unit} of the class field and determine its minimal polynomial for the 155 cases with . For N=2317723, with class number , I compute the minimal polynomial of in 90 milliseconds. Its height is smaller than the {\em cube} root of the height of the generating polynomial found by the double eta-quotient method of {\em Pari-GP}. I reduce the complete elliptic integral to radicals and values of the function, by determining the Chowla--Selberg unit and solving the septic, quintic and cubic equations that generate sub-fields of the class field. I conclude that the residue 3 modulo 8, initially discarded in elliptic curve primality proving, outperforms the residue 7.
