The moduli problem [Γ₁(N)] #

Following Katz and Mazur, a [Γ₁(N)]-structure on an elliptic curve E over a scheme S is an S-point P of E of exact order N: the divisor [P] + [2P] + ⋯ + [NP] on E is a subgroup scheme (EllipticCurveGeom.IsOfExactOrder). This is Drinfeld's notion, which makes sense over every base, including bases on which N is not invertible.

An arrow (E'/S') ⟶ (E/S) of Ell/B exhibits E' as the base change of E, so every S-point of E has a base change, an S'-point of E' (EllipticCurveGeom.pointsPullback), and points of exact order N pull back to points of exact order N (EllipticCurveGeom.IsOfExactOrder.pointsPullback). Base change of points is functorial, so the [Γ₁(N)]-structures form a moduli problem over Ell/B (ModuliProblem.gammaOne). For N = 1 the only point of exact order one is the zero section, so [Γ₁(1)] is the trivial moduli problem [Γ(1)] (ModuliProblem.gammaOneOneIso).

The problem [Γ₁(N)] is relatively representable (ModuliProblem.gammaOneRelRepData): for an object (E/S) and a scheme T over S, the [Γ₁(N)]-structures on the base change E_T are the morphisms from T to the exact-order scheme E.exactOrderScheme N over S (ModuliProblem.gammaOneBaseChangeEquiv), the closed subscheme of E on which the universal point has exact order N. It lies in E[N], so for N ≠ 0 the problem [Γ₁(N)] is finite over Ell/B (ModuliProblem.hasProperty_isFinite_gammaOneRelRepData). No hypothesis is placed on B.

The moduli problem [Γ₁(N)] over Ell/B (Katz–Mazur, §3.2). A [Γ₁(N)]-structure on an object (E/S) of Ell/B is an S-point of E of exact order N (gammaOneEquiv), and it pulls back along an arrow of Ell/B by base change of points (gammaOneEquiv_map).

Instances For

    The [Γ₁(N)]-structures on an object (E/S) of Ell/B are the S-points of E of exact order N.

      The pull-back of a [Γ₁(N)]-structure along an arrow φ of Ell/B is the base change of its point along φ.

      @[instance_reducible]

      An S-point of exact order one is the zero section, so an object of Ell/B has exactly one [Γ₁(1)]-structure.

      [Γ₁(1)] is the trivial moduli problem [Γ(1)]: the only point of exact order one of an elliptic curve is its zero section.

        Relative representability of [Γ₁(N)] #

        [Γ₁(N)]-structures on base changes are points of the exact-order scheme. For an object X = (E/S) of Ell/B and a scheme T over S, the [Γ₁(N)]-structures on the base change E_T of E correspond to the morphisms T ⟶ E.exactOrderScheme N over S: a structure, a T-point P of E_T of exact order N, corresponds to the morphism whose image in E is P followed by the projection E_T ⟶ E (gammaOneBaseChangeEquiv_apply_left_comp).

          @[simp]

          The morphism T ⟶ E.exactOrderScheme N of a [Γ₁(N)]-structure on E_T, followed by the inclusion of the exact-order scheme in E, is the point of the structure followed by the projection E_T ⟶ E.

          Naturality of gammaOneBaseChangeEquiv. Along a morphism k : T' ⟶ T of schemes over the base of X, the morphism T' ⟶ E.exactOrderScheme N of the pull-back to E_{T'} of a [Γ₁(N)]-structure on E_T is the composite of k with the morphism of the structure.

          Naturality of gammaOneBaseChangeEquiv, read backwards: the [Γ₁(N)]-structure on E_{T'} of the composite of k : T' ⟶ T with a morphism T ⟶ E.exactOrderScheme N is the pull-back of the structure on E_T of that morphism.

          The moduli problem [Γ₁(N)] is relatively representable (Katz–Mazur, 3.6.0). For an object X = (E/S) of Ell/B, the functor T ↦ [Γ₁(N)](E_T/T) on schemes over S is represented by the exact-order scheme E.exactOrderScheme N, the closed subscheme of E of points of exact order N, through gammaOneBaseChangeEquiv. No hypothesis is placed on B, and N need not be invertible on it.

            The scheme representing [Γ₁(N)]-structures on base changes of X = (E/S) is the exact-order scheme of E.

            @[simp]

            The [Γ₁(N)]-structure on E_T of a morphism from T to the representing scheme is the one given by gammaOneBaseChangeEquiv, after identifying the representing scheme with the exact-order scheme through gammaOneRelRepData_rep.

            The moduli problem [Γ₁(N)] is finite over Ell/B (Katz–Mazur, 3.6.0) for N ≠ 0: each representing scheme, the exact-order scheme of an elliptic curve E/S, is a closed subscheme of E[N] and hence finite over S.
