← Phase 2 / 15 · 696.e1 Base Certificate
Writes the complete base data of 696.e1 into a formal certificate: $E:y^2=x^3+x^2+8x-16$, $N=696=2^3\cdot3\cdot29$, $\Delta_{\min}=-2^{11}\cdot3\cdot29<0$, $E(\mathbb Q)_{\rm tors}=0$, both analytic/algebraic rank are $0$, optimal, Manin constant $1$. The document then does something very important: because the introduction of Banwait–Huang recalls that full BSD has been rigorously verified for analytic-rank-0/1 elliptic curves with conductor $\le5000$, and $696<5000$, $r_{\rm an}=0$, therefore $\operatorname{BSD}(E)$ — especially $\operatorname{BSD}(E,2)$ — is a rigorous result directly inherited from existing literature, not newly proven in this series; the document explicitly notes that it deliberately avoids the circular reasoning of "analytic Sha=1 implies actual Sha=1" here. For the $L^{alg}$ gate part, LMFDB records $\Sha_{\rm an}=1$, $\prod c_p=1$, $|E(\mathbb Q)_{\rm tors}|=1$, $Reg=1$, and from the definition of analytic Sha we directly obtain $v_2(L^{alg}(E,1))=0$. Finally, it calculates the 2-division cubic: since $a_1=a_3=0$, $f_2(x)=x^3+x^2+8x-16$, which has no rational roots and is thus irreducible. Its discriminant $\operatorname{disc}(f_2)=-11136=-2^7\cdot3\cdot29$ is not a square, so the Galois closure is $S_3$, and the quadratic resolvent is $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-174})$ — this set of calculations directly paves the way for the Chebotarev argument in document 16.
Relationship with other documents, try to use the words from its own document, not my interpretation.
"We do not use here: analytic Sha = 1 implies actual Sha = 1, this kind of circular inference." — Excerpt from the "Base BSD(E,2)" paragraph in this document.
