Compatibility of the class-group point map with places #

For a separable isogeny over a separably closed field, the place of the image of a point under Isogeny.toPointHom is the restriction of its place along the function-field pullback. The proof combines the affine-point evaluation theorem with the point at infinity.

The place of the image of a point is the restriction of the point's place along the isogeny's function-field pullback.

The pullback of a function vanishing at φ(Q) vanishes at Q: if φ sends Q to the affine point (x', y') and z vanishes there, then φ^* z vanishes at Q.
