2012, arXiv (Cornell University)

Let α := 2 cos(2π/7) and let τ be the golden ratio, they are solutions of α 3 + α 2 − 2α − 1 = 0, τ 2 − τ − 1 = 0. Let b := (6τ − 3)α 2 + (14τ − 8)α + 5τ − 3 and c := τ α 2 + 2τ α + 1. Let E b,c be the elliptic curve E b,c := y 2 + (1 − c)xy − by = x 3 − bx 2 (1) and P := (x = 0, y = 0).
