The degree-3 covering map conjecture for elliptic surfaces

Let π2\pi_2 be the elliptic fibration constructed from a point of MK,1{\mathcal M}'_{K,1}, let σ0\sigma_0 be its zero section, and let ϕ\phi be the map associated with the corresponding point of M3{\mathcal M}'_3. The restriction of π2\pi_2 to σ0\sigma_0 is a degree-33 map to the base of π2\pi_2. Degree-3 covering map conjecture. The degree-33 map from σ0\sigma_0 to the base of π2\pi_2 coincides with the map ϕ\phi in the corresponding point of M3{\mathcal M}'_3. This conjecture is supported by computational experiments and identifies the section-induced covering with the map parametrized by M3{\mathcal M}'_3; the supplied text gives no resolution.
