The addition morphism of an elliptic curve over a scheme #
Let E be an elliptic curve over a scheme S, with structure morphism π : E ⟶ S and zero
section 0. Zariski-locally on S, E is the projective model of an elliptic Weierstrass curve,
through a pointed Weierstrass chart; the projective model carries the Bosma–Lenstra addition
morphism WeierstrassCurve.additionMorphism. This file glues these local addition morphisms to the
addition morphism E ×_S E ⟶ E over S.
A pointed Weierstrass chart c, over an open U = base ⟶ S, presents the restriction E_U of
E as the projective model of its equation. Transporting the addition morphism of the equation
along this presentation gives the addition of the chart E_U ×_U E_U ⟶ E_U
(PointedWeierstrassChart.addition). The additions of two charts agree where both are defined.
Over an affine open V of the base of a chart c, the restriction c.restrict V is again a
chart, and the comparison of the two charts over V is a morphism of projective models which
carries the zero section to the zero section and is a base change square. The Bosma–Lenstra
addition morphism commutes with such morphisms
(WeierstrassCurve.additionMorphism_comp_of_isPullback), because a pointed isomorphism of
projective models over an affine base is induced by a change of variables. So the addition of
every chart restricts to the addition of each of its restrictions to affine opens, and two charts
c and d agree near every point of U_c ∩ U_d, through a restriction of c to an affine open
mapping into U_d.
The parts E_U ×_U E_U of E ×_S E over the bases of all pointed Weierstrass charts form an open
cover, and the additions of the charts glue along it (EllipticCurveGeom.glueMorphisms) to
EllipticCurveGeom.addition. Its
restriction to every chart is the addition of the chart (EllipticCurveGeom.pullbackMap_addition),
and this characterises it among all morphisms E ×_S E ⟶ E, already on the charts of any one atlas
(EllipticCurveGeom.eq_addition_of_atlas). In particular the addition morphism does not depend on
the choice of local Weierstrass equations.

The addition of a chart #
The addition of a pointed Weierstrass chart c of π : X ⟶ S: the morphism
X_U ×_U X_U ⟶ X_U, for X_U the restriction of X to the base U of the chart, obtained by
transporting the Bosma–Lenstra addition morphism of the equation of c along the isomorphism of
X_U with its projective model (addition_modelIso_hom).
Instances For
Through the isomorphism of the restriction of the curve to the base of a chart with the projective model of its equation, the addition of the chart is the Bosma–Lenstra addition morphism of the equation.

Restriction of the addition of a chart #
Restriction of the addition of a chart. If the base of a chart k maps to the base of a
chart c over S, the addition of c restricts to the addition of k. Both are the
Bosma–Lenstra addition morphisms of their equations; the comparison of the projective models of
the two equations is a base change square carrying the zero section to the zero section, and the
addition morphism commutes with it (WeierstrassCurve.additionMorphism_comp_of_isPullback).

Gluing the additions of the charts #
The addition morphism E ×_S E ⟶ E of an elliptic curve E over a scheme S: the
morphism whose restriction to the base U of every pointed Weierstrass chart is the Bosma–Lenstra
addition morphism of the equation of the chart (pullbackMap_addition). It is glued from these
local addition morphisms, which agree where they overlap, and it lies over S
(addition_structureMap).
