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⟧.

The coordinate functions (x, y, 1) over the affine coordinate ring R[W] solve the homogeneous Weierstrass equation of W.

The tautological point [x : y : 1] of the projective Weierstrass model, with values in the affine coordinate ring R[W] = R[x, y] ⧸ (W(x, y)). Rewrite with tautologicalPoint_def rather than unfolding this definition.

Instances For

    The tautological point is the point of the projective model with homogeneous coordinates (x, y, 1), along algebraMap R R[W].

    @[simp]

    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.
