Adding coordinate pullbacks #
A coordinate pullback W₂.CoordinateRing →ₐ[F] W₁.FunctionField is the same thing as a point of
W₂ over F(W₁) — its tautological point — so two of them can be added by adding those points
in the group law of W₂⁄F(W₁) and evaluating the coordinate ring at the result. This is the
Weierstrass addition law read on function fields, taken from Mathlib's group structure on points
rather than from the rational formulas directly.
The sum of two points may be the point at infinity, which is not the tautological point of
anything, so add takes that exclusion as a hypothesis; on the hom carrier, where a zero element
is available, that case is the zero map (Isogeny/Hom/Add.lean). The sum of two pointed
pullbacks whose tautological points do not cancel is pointed again (mapsInfinity_add), so the
sum of two isogenies is an isogeny.

Provenance #
The same construction is formalised in the AINTLIB HasseWeil project (Chris Birkbeck),
Apache-2.0, HasseWeil/AdditionPullback.lean at commit
513e83879e2f8cbc626eb9e04d660e92be16ccba, declarations addSlope, addPullback_x,
addPullback_y, addCoordAlgHomPair and addIsog, which build the sum from the explicit
rational formulas. Nothing here is adapted from it: that construction assumes the induced map on
points as data, and its case analysis on the formulas is what Mathlib's AddCommGroup on points
already discharges, so the declarations below are written against the point group instead.
The sum of two coordinate pullbacks, when their tautological points do not cancel:
evaluation of the coordinate ring of W₂ at the sum of those points.
Equations
Instances For
The sum sends the coordinate function x of W₂ to the x-coordinate of the sum point.
The sum sends the coordinate function y of W₂ to the y-coordinate of the sum point.
The defining property of the sum: its tautological point is the sum of the tautological points.
The defining property characterises the sum: a pullback whose tautological point is the sum of two others is their sum.
Addition of coordinate pullbacks is commutative where it is defined.
Addition of coordinate pullbacks is associative where both regroupings are defined.
The sum of two pointed coordinate pullbacks whose tautological points do not cancel is pointed.
