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.
Instances For
The pull-back of a [Γ₁(N)]-structure along an arrow φ of Ell/B is the base change of its
point along φ.
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).
Instances For
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.
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.
Instances For
The scheme representing [Γ₁(N)]-structures on base changes of X = (E/S) is the exact-order
scheme of E.
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.
