Visibility of 4-covers of elliptic curves
Abstract
Let be a -cover of an elliptic curve , written as a quadric intersection in . Let be another elliptic curve with -torsion isomorphic to that of . We show how to write down the -cover of with the property that and are represented by the same cohomology class on the -torsion. In fact we give equations for as a curve of degree in . We also study the K3-surfaces fibred by the curves as we vary . In particular we show how to write down models for these surfaces as complete intersections of quadrics in with exactly singular points. This allows us to give examples of elliptic curves over that have elements of order in their Tate-Shafarevich group that are not visible in a principally polarized abelian surface.
