Group law on Weierstrass curves #
This file proves that the nonsingular rational points on a Weierstrass curve forms an abelian group
under the geometric group law defined in Mathlib.AlgebraicGeometry.EllipticCurve.Affine
and in
Mathlib.AlgebraicGeometry.EllipticCurve.Jacobian
.
Mathematical background #
Let W
be a Weierstrass curve over a field F
given by a Weierstrass equation $W(X, Y) = 0$ in
affine coordinates. As in Mathlib.AlgebraicGeometry.EllipticCurve.Affine
, the set of nonsingular
rational points W⟮F⟯
of W
consist of the unique point at infinity $0$ and nonsingular affine
points $(x, y)$. With this description, there is an addition-preserving injection between W⟮F⟯
and the ideal class group of the coordinate ring $F[W] := F[X, Y] / \langle W(X, Y)\rangle$ of W
.
This is defined by mapping the point at infinity $0$ to the trivial ideal class and an affine point
$(x, y)$ to the ideal class of the invertible fractional ideal $\langle X - x, Y - y\rangle$.
Proving that this is well-defined and preserves addition reduce to checking several equalities of
integral ideals, which is done in WeierstrassCurve.Affine.CoordinateRing.XYIdeal_neg_mul
and in
WeierstrassCurve.Affine.CoordinateRing.XYIdeal_mul_XYIdeal
via explicit ideal computations.
Now $F[W]$ is a free rank two $F[X]$-algebra with basis $\{1, Y\}$, so every element of $F[W]$ is
of the form $p + qY$ for some $p, q \in F[X]$, and there is an algebra norm $N : F[W] \to F[X]$.
Injectivity can then be shown by computing the degree of such a norm $N(p + qY)$ in two different
ways, which is done in WeierstrassCurve.Affine.CoordinateRing.degree_norm_smul_basis
and in the
auxiliary lemmas in the proof of WeierstrassCurve.Affine.Point.instAddCommGroup
.
When W
is given in Jacobian coordinates, WeierstrassCurve.Jacobian.Point.toAffineAddEquiv
pulls
back the group law on WeierstrassCurve.Affine.Point
to WeierstrassCurve.Jacobian.Point
.
