Abstract

In this paper we investigate Hesse’s elliptic curves H μ : U 3 + V 3 + W 3 = 3 μ U V W , μ Q - { 1 } , and construct their twists, H μ , t over quadratic fields, and H ˜ ( μ , t ) , μ , t Q over the Galois closures of cubic fields. We also show that H μ is a twist of H ˜ ( μ , t ) over the related cubic field when the quadratic field is contained in the Galois closure of the cubic field. We utilize a cubic polynomial, R ( t ; X ) : = X 3 + t X + t , t Q - { 0 , - 27 / 4 } , to parametrize all of quadratic fields and cubic ones. It should be noted that H ˜ ( μ , t ) is a twist of H μ as algebraic curves because it may not always have any rational points over Q . We also describe the set of Q -rational points of H ˜ ( μ , t ) by a certain subset of the cubic field. In the case of μ = 0 , we give a criterion for H ˜ ( 0 , t ) to have a rational point over Q .

We also show that $H_{\mu }$ is a twist of $\tilde{H}(\mu , t)$ over the related cubic field when the quadratic field is contained in the Galois closure of the cubic field. We utilize a cubic polynomial, $R(t; X) := X^3 + tX + t, t \in \mathbf{Q} - \lbrace 0, - 27/4 \rbrace $, to parametrize all of quadratic fields and cubic ones.
