Entry 78

Level 7. This level is special since we have to consider the curve x31=7y2. Define dk=η(kτ) with the Dedekind eta function η(τ) and the McKay-Thompson series of class 7A for the Monster.  j7A(τ)=((d1d7)2+7(d7d1)2)2 Examples. We select d=7m with class number h(d)=2 and find m=5,13,61 such that the following are well-behaved integers j7A(1+5/72)=7×12=23+1j7A(1+13/72)=7×32=43+1j7A(1+61/72)=7×392=223+1 A WolframAlpha search for positive integer solutions to x31=7y2 reveals only these three. However, if we allow (x,y) to be higher algebraic integers with the same odd degree and a solvable Galois group, then it seems there are infinitely many. For example, we select d=7m with class number h(d)=6 and find m=101 and others so j7A(1+101/72)=x3+1=7y2 where (x,y) are the real roots of cubics x346x2380x800=0y3145y2357y1235=0 For class number h(d)=10, we find m=17 and others so j7A(1+17/72)=x3+1=7y2 where (x,y) are the real roots of solvable quintics x55x4+4x315x223x11=0y55y4+5y37y21=0 and so on.
