from sage.all import *
p = 1125899906842679
R = PolynomialRing(GF(p), 'x,y')
R.inject_variables()
I = Ideal(3*x**4 + 740736*x**2 + 4854540*x + 1125884665458743, -x**3 + y**2 + 1125899906719223*x + 1125899906438134)
J = I.elimination_ideal(y)

Here, elimination_ideal leads to an error. I have no clue why. For other examples, like other finite fields, it works. Has someone an idea, why?

For other examples, like other finite fields, it works.

Can you give such an example ?

.elimination_ideal() is computed by Singular, which has a restriction for the field characteristic to be below $2^{31}$. Check this out:

P.<x,y> = GF(previous_prime(2^31))[]
print(P.parent())
P.<x,y> = GF(next_prime(2^31))[]
print(P.parent())
