The ℓ-adic Weil pairing #
Over a separably closed field in which the prime ℓ is invertible, the finite Weil pairings
assemble into a continuous, alternating, nondegenerate ℤ_ℓ-bilinear pairing
T_ℓ E × T_ℓ E → ℤ_ℓ(1).
The codomain is TauCeti.PadicTateTwist, not a chosen copy of ℤ_ℓ: keeping the roots of unity
makes the Galois equivariance canonical. The pairing is characterized by its projections to
μ_{ℓ^n}. Its Galois equivariance is the input for identifying the determinant of the Tate-module
representation with the cyclotomic character.

Instances For
The finite components of the ℓ-adic pairing are the ordinary Weil pairings.
The ℓ-adic Weil pairing is alternating.
The ℓ-adic Weil pairing is skew-symmetric, in additive notation on the Tate twist.
The ℓ-adic Weil pairing is nondegenerate in its first variable.
The ℓ-adic Weil pairing is nondegenerate in its second variable.
The ℓ-adic Weil pairing is jointly continuous for the inverse-limit topologies.
The ℓ-adic Weil pairing intertwines the elliptic Galois representation with the action on
ℤ_ℓ(1). Thus its equivariance does not require choosing a generator of the Tate twist.
