Constructs the Goldbach-Frey curve to analyze conductor rigidity in elliptic curves, suggesting insights into prime gaps.
We construct the Goldbach-Frey curve CN,p : y² = x(x²−p²)(x²−(2N−p)²) for a fixed even integer 2N and prime candidate p. This genus-2 curve is the additive mirror of the twin prime curve: the sum p + (2N−p) = 2N is fixed, producing a static conduit at divisors of N. We prove three unconditional results. (1) The discriminant factors as Δ = 2¹² · p⁶ · (2N−p)⁶ · (N−p)⁴ · N⁴, with N⁴ appearing as a parameter-independent factor shared by every curve in the family {CN,p}. (2) The Kani-Rosen splitting yields Jac(CN,p) ⊗ K ~ E_p × E_p^σ for an elliptic curve E_p over K = Q(√−1), so the Jacobian is a Weil restriction ResK/Q(E_p). (3) At any odd prime r dividing N with r ∤ p(2N−p)(N−p), the curve has multiplicative reduction with ord_r(Δ) = 4·ord_r(N), and this local conductor data is uniform across the entire family — independent of p. The static conduit factor ∏r|N, r>2 (r−1)/(r−2) corresponds precisely to the Hardy-Littlewood singular series for Goldbach representations, providing a geometric explanation for the banded structure of the Goldbach comet. The passage from this framework to a proof of the Goldbach conjecture remains open.
