Rational-point conjecture for the surfaces Z~(17,1)\widetilde{Z}(17,1) and Z~(17,3)\widetilde{Z}(17,3)

From papers

Let Z~(17,k)\widetilde{Z}(17,k) be the surface in A4{\mathbb A}^4 with coordinates (T,x,y,z)(T,x,y,z) defined by

y2+(T+1)(T2)xy+T3y=x3x2y^2+(T+1)(T-2)xy+T^3y=x^3-x^2

and

z2=Fk(T,x,y),z^2=F_k(T,x,y),

where FkF_k is the polynomial recorded in the appendix.

Rational-point conjecture. The only Q{\mathbb Q}-points on Z~(17,1)\widetilde{Z}(17,1) lie above one of the listed curves in (x,y)(x,y), the curve T=0T=0, or one of the points in the indicated table; likewise, the only Q{\mathbb Q}-points on Z~(17,3)\widetilde{Z}(17,3) lie above one of its listed curves in (x,y)(x,y), the curve T=0T=0, or one of the points in that table.

This conjecture seeks a complete description of the rational points on the two explicit surfaces, which arise in the study of pairs of 17-congruent elliptic curves. Determining all such points remains open.
