Questions tagged [magma]
Questions involving the software MAGMA. (For the algebraic structure called magma, please, use the tag magmas.) This tag should hardly ever be the only tag of a question; typically there should be additional tags to indicate the mathematical content of the question. Please note that questions that are purely support-questions on MAGMA are not a good fit for this site.

Z/8Z elliptic curve with a missing generator
We are searching for the rank $6$ elliptic curves with the torsion subgroup $\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z}$ using the families similar to Allan MacLeod's as described in

Discrepancy in Magma's calculation and Sage's of elliptic curve?
$\DeclareMathOperator\Sha{Sha}$I calculated the Tate–Shafarevich group $\Sha(E/K)[2]$ of the elliptic curve $E:y^2=x^3+17x$ over $K=\Bbb{Q}(\sqrt{-37})$.
I calculated that by hand and I reached the ...

3-, 6-, 12-descent for Z2xZ6 elliptic curves
We are trying to write a snippet of Magma code to clarify the steps in the simplified procedure of applying $3$-, $6$-, $12$-descent and hopefully resolve the missing generator of the following $\...
