The negation 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 negation morphism WeierstrassCurve.projModelNeg, [X : Y : Z] ↦ [X : -Y - a₁X - a₃Z : Z]. This file glues these local negation morphisms to the negation morphism 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 negation morphism of the equation along this presentation gives the negation of the chart E_U ⟶ E_U (PointedWeierstrassChart.neg). If the base of a chart k maps to the base of a chart c over S, the comparison of the two projective models carries the zero section to the zero section and is a base change square, so it commutes with negation (WeierstrassCurve.projModelNeg_comp_of_isPullback). The negations of the charts therefore glue along the cover of E by the restrictions E_U (EllipticCurveGeom.glueMorphisms) to EllipticCurveGeom.neg. Its restriction to every chart is the negation of the chart (EllipticCurveGeom.toTotal_neg), and this characterises it among all morphisms E ⟶ E, already on the charts of any one atlas (EllipticCurveGeom.eq_neg_of_atlas). In particular the negation morphism does not depend on the choice of local Weierstrass equations. Like its local models, it is an involution over S that fixes the zero section.

The negation of a chart #

The negation of a pointed Weierstrass chart c of π : X ⟶ S: the morphism X_U ⟶ X_U, for X_U the restriction of X to the base U of the chart, obtained by transporting the negation morphism of the projective model of the equation of c along the isomorphism of X_U with that model (neg_modelIso_hom).

    Through the isomorphism of the restriction of the curve to the base of a chart with the projective model of its equation, the negation of the chart is the negation morphism of the projective model.

    Restriction of the negation of a chart #

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

    Gluing the negations of the charts #

    The negation morphism 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 negation morphism [X : Y : Z] ↦ [X : -Y - a₁X - a₃Z : Z] of the projective model of the equation of the chart (toTotal_neg). It is glued from these local negation morphisms, which agree where they overlap.
