Implement David Zywina's new fast algorithm for determining surjectivity of Galois representations attached to elliptic curves #11270

I tried to do this, but I ran into an inconsistency. I copied the first code of Zywina taken from http://www.mast.queensu.ca/~zywina/papers/code/EffectiveModl.py where for small primes, he uses explicit polynomials as criterions for non-surjectivity. When I did so, there were doctest failures that show that his program does not give the same answer as our sage implementation. I have checked in details these three cases and I found that our result is correct and his wrong. I contact him about this. So until further notice, this is a ticket that we should NOT do. |

In case you decide to continue working on Galois representations, please be so kind to wait for #11905 first. |

The situation of this ticket is still the same. I have sent (dec 13) the following email to David Zywina. He once replied (sep 14) that he did not have time to look at it now but he would do so later. I have not heard from him since. Dear David, I had some time and I decided to look at old trac tickets for sage. I I started to do so, but then ran into a problem. I wanted first to http://www.mast.queensu.ca/~zywina/papers/code/EffectiveModl.py That concerns the primes 5,7,11,13,17,37 (as 2 and 3 are already But to be honest. This file is a mess and I would not be surprised if I wish you a Happy New Year. Chris.

This paper [1] has a much faster more precise algorithm than the one in Sage for accomplishing the following sort of thing:
The point of this ticket is to get this into Sage as the default algorithm (while keeping the old one, of course). I (William Stein) am working with Zywina on this (it is a little more involved than just copying things from his paper...)
