The tautological point of the projective Weierstrass model #
Let W be a Weierstrass curve over a commutative ring R. This file defines the
tautological point [x : y : 1] of the projective Weierstrass model projModel W, with values
in the affine coordinate ring R[W] = R[x, y] ⧸ (W(x, y)) (WeierstrassCurve.tautologicalPoint).
The chart D₊(Z) of the projective model factors through it, and through the Laurent expansion
R[W] → R⸨z⸩ at the point at infinity (WeierstrassCurve.laurentExpansion) it becomes the formal
point [z : -1 : w(z)] along the zero section, with values in the power series ring R⟦z⟧.
Main definitions #
WeierstrassCurve.tautologicalPoint W: the point[x : y : 1]ofprojModel Wwith values in the affine coordinate ringR[W].
Main results #
WeierstrassCurve.exists_SpecMap_comp_tautologicalPoint_eq_chartι: the chartD₊(Z)factors through the tautological point.WeierstrassCurve.SpecMap_laurentExpansion_tautologicalPoint: expanded at the point at infinity, the tautological point is the formal point.

Instances For
The tautological point is the point of the projective model with homogeneous coordinates
(x, y, 1), along algebraMap R R[W].
The tautological point lies over the morphism Spec R[W] ⟶ Spec R induced by
algebraMap R R[W].
The tautological point lies over the morphism Spec R[W] ⟶ Spec R induced by
algebraMap R R[W].
The chart D₊(Z) of the projective model factors through the tautological point: the
universal point of the chart is [X / Z : Y / Z : 1], the image of [x : y : 1] under an
R-algebra map R[W] → ChartRing 2.
The tautological point at infinity. Expanded in Laurent series at the point at infinity,
the tautological point [x : y : 1] is the formal point [z : -1 : w(z)]: its coordinates are
-y times those of the formal point.
