Variable changes on the homogeneous coordinate ring of a Weierstrass curve #

An admissible change of variables C = (u, r, s, t) carries a point (x, y) of C • W to the point (u²x + r, u³y + u²sx + t) of W. In homogeneous coordinates this is the linear map [X : Y : Z] ↦ [u²X + rZ : u²sX + u³Y + tZ : Z] with matrix C.toMatrix. Substituting it into the homogeneous Weierstrass polynomial of W gives u⁶ times that of C • W, so it induces an R-algebra isomorphism of homogeneous coordinate rings variableChangeEquiv W C : R[X, Y, Z] ⧸ (W) ≃ₐ[R] R[X, Y, Z] ⧸ (C • W) which preserves the grading by total degree. Its Proj is the isomorphism between the projective Weierstrass models of C • W and W.

The matrix of the change of variables C = (u, r, s, t) acting on homogeneous coordinates: [X : Y : Z] ↦ [u²X + rZ : u²sX + u³Y + tZ : Z], the homogenisation of (x, y) ↦ (u²x + r, u³y + u²sx + t).

    toMatrix reverses products: a point of (C * C') • W = C • C' • W is first carried to C' • W by C, and then to W by C'.

    The change of variables multiplies the homogeneous Weierstrass polynomial by u⁶: W(u²X + rZ, u²sX + u³Y + tZ, Z) = u⁶ (C • W)(X, Y, Z).

    The isomorphism of homogeneous coordinate rings R[X, Y, Z] ⧸ (W) ≃ₐ[R] R[X, Y, Z] ⧸ (C • W) induced by the change of variables C: the class of p(X, Y, Z) goes to the class of p(u²X + rZ, u²sX + u³Y + tZ, Z).

      The identity change of variables induces the canonical isomorphism R[X, Y, Z] ⧸ (W) ≃ₐ[R] R[X, Y, Z] ⧸ (1 • W) coming from 1 • W = W.

      @[simp]

      The isomorphism induced by a product C * C' is the isomorphism induced by C' followed by the one induced by C, up to the canonical isomorphism coming from C • C' • W = (C * C') • W.

      The isomorphism of homogeneous coordinate rings preserves the grading by total degree.

      The inverse isomorphism of homogeneous coordinate rings preserves the grading by total degree.

      Evaluating at [0 : 1 : 0] after the change of variables is evaluating at [0 : u³ : 0]: on the degree-n part it multiplies the value at [0 : 1 : 0] by (u³)ⁿ.
