Jul 3, 2023 at 15:47 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | The point is that I choose $x$ first and then choose $y$ and $D$ simultaneously. This is implicitly also what's going on in the other answer. But the other answer doesn't explain why the different values of $(x,y)$ cannot accidentally all give the same value of $D$. | |
Jul 3, 2023 at 12:49 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | Also recall that the equation $DY^2 = X^3+17X$ is equivalent to $y^2 = x^3+17D^2x$. | |
Jul 3, 2023 at 12:44 | comment | added | R. van Dobben de Bruyn | Any positive rational number $z$ (in this case $z = X^3+17X$) can be uniquely written as $z = DY^2$ where $D \in \mathbf Z$ is squarefree and $Y \in \mathbf Q$. Indeed, $D$ has to be the product of all primes $p$ with $v_p(z) \equiv 1 \pmod 2$, and then $z/D$ is a square in $\mathbf Q$. (If we did not care that $D$ is squarefree and integral, we would just take $Y=1$.) I'm just saying that every class in $\mathbf Q^\times/\mathbf Q^{\times 2}$ has a unique squarefree integer representative. | |
Jul 3, 2023 at 10:15 | comment | added | Duality | How you take $Y$ as rational number ? For $X=m/4n$, I couldn't find the reason why $(X,Y)$ is a rational point of $E$. | |

Small clarification.
