The Tate curve over ℤ⟦q⟧ #

The Tate curve is the Weierstrass equation

E_q : y² + xy = x³ + a₄(q) x + a₆(q), a₄(q) = -5 s₃(q), a₆(q) = -(5 s₃(q) + 7 s₅(q)) / 12,

where s_k(q) = ∑_{n ≥ 1} nᵏ qⁿ / (1 - qⁿ) = ∑_{n ≥ 1} σ_k(n) qⁿ. This file defines it as a Weierstrass curve over the formal power series ring ℤ⟦q⟧. The division by 12 in a₆ is carried out on coefficients, using 12 ∣ 5 σ₃(n) + 7 σ₅(n), so no denominator is ever introduced: the curve is defined over ℤ⟦q⟧, and by WeierstrassCurve.map over R⟦q⟧ for every commutative ring R, residue characteristics 2 and 3 included. Over a complete non-archimedean field K and q ∈ Kˣ with |q| < 1 the series converge, and specialising gives the curve whose points are Kˣ / qᶻ; this file contains the formal half of that story.

The formal invariants are those of the Tate curve as an elliptic curve over the Laurent series ℤ⸨q⸩: c₄ = 1 + 240 s₃ and c₆ = -1 + 504 s₅, the discriminant is q times a unit of ℤ⟦q⟧, so that the curve is elliptic over ℤ⸨q⸩, and its j-invariant is 1 / q + 744 + ⋯ with integral coefficients.

The Tate curve y² + xy = x³ + a₄ x + a₆ over ℤ⟦q⟧, with a₄ = -5 s₃ and a₆ = -(5 s₃ + 7 s₅) / 12. The n-th coefficient of a₆ is -(5 σ₃(n) + 7 σ₅(n)) / 12, an integer by twelve_dvd_five_mul_sigma_three_add_seven_mul_sigma_five; use coeff_tateCurve_a₆ and twelve_mul_tateCurve_a₆ rather than the definition.

    v(Δ) = v(q): the discriminant of the Tate curve has order 1 in q.

    The discriminant of the Tate curve is q times a unit: Δ = q · u with u ∈ ℤ⟦q⟧ of constant coefficient 1, hence invertible in ℤ⟦q⟧.

    Over the Laurent series ℤ⸨q⸩, where q is invertible, the Tate curve is elliptic.

    j(q) = 1 / q + 744 + ⋯: over ℤ⸨q⸩ the j-invariant of the Tate curve is q⁻¹ · J(q) for a power series J ∈ ℤ⟦q⟧ with J = 1 + 744 q + ⋯. In particular j has a simple pole at q = 0 and integral coefficients.
