Rank-two elliptic curve with cubic x cubed minus seventeen x
ID: rank-two-elliptic-curve-with-cubic-x-cubed-minus-seventeen-x
The two-torsion square-class homomorphism on has candidate classes by the prime-support bound in two-isogeny descent. The identity, and realize , so multiplicativity gives all four. The two-isogeny formula companion has only positive candidate classes ; realizes and realizes . Thus both images have order four, and the two-isogeny rank formula gives . The rank of an elliptic curve is therefore two, without any unresolved covering class.
