Isogenies of abelian varieties #
An isogeny of abelian varieties is a homomorphism whose underlying scheme morphism is finite and surjective. This definition works over an arbitrary field: it does not impose separability, so it includes inseparable isogenies in positive characteristic.
Rather than duplicate Mathlib's two scheme-morphism properties, AbelianVariety.isogenies K is
their infimum pulled back along AbelianVariety.Hom.toSchemeFunctor. Consequently identities,
composites, and morphisms isomorphic to isogenies are handled by Mathlib's generic
MorphismProperty API. The abbreviation AbelianVariety.IsIsogeny f gives the usual predicate on
a homomorphism.
Main results #
AbelianVariety.IsIsogeny.compcomposes isogenies;AbelianVariety.IsIsogeny.baseChangeshows that an isogeny remains one after extending the ground field;AbelianVariety.isIsogeny_mulBy_neg_onesupplies the multiplication-by-negative-one isogeny.
This is the property-level prerequisite for TauCetiRoadmap/JacobianChallenge/README.md, Layer E,
item "[n] as an isogeny". The general theorem for nonzero n requires the later torsion theory
and is not asserted here. No external formalization is vendored. The definition and closure proofs
reuse Mathlib's AlgebraicGeometry.IsFinite and AlgebraicGeometry.Surjective morphism properties,
including their stability under composition, isomorphism, and base change.
The morphism property of being an isogeny of abelian varieties over K: the underlying
scheme morphism is finite and surjective.
