Hilbert's Sextic Conjecture for the Valentiner action

Let TSpec(C(x,y))T \rightarrow \operatorname{Spec}(\mathbb C(x,y)) be the A6A_6-torsor associated to the Valentiner action A6PC2A_6 \curvearrowright \mathbb P^2_{\mathbb C}. For a smooth, irreducible, generically free A6A_6-curve XX, write \prescriptTX\prescript{T}{}{X} for the twist of XX by TT, and let C(x,y)(1)\mathbb C(x,y)^{(1)} denote the specified extension appearing in the conjecture.

Hilbert's Sextic Conjecture. For any smooth, irreducible, generically free A6A_6-curve XX,

\prescriptTX(C(x,y)(1))=.\prescript{T}{}{X}\left(\mathbb C(x,y)^{(1)}\right)=\emptyset.

This is a reformulation of Hilbert's sextic conjecture in terms of the Valentiner A6A_6-action and generalized versality. The supplied text gives no resolution status, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
