Splitting the divisor class group along the degree at a rational point #
This file records the structural consequence of having a weight-one base point for the abstract divisor class group of an order system, continuing the Jacobian roadmap's Layer A.
For an OrderSystem S on a type of points X whose principal divisors have weighted degree
zero, WeilDivisor.Principal builds the descended weighted degree weightedDegreeClass on the
class group Cl(X) and its kernel picZero, the abstract Pic⁰. Here we add the missing
structural fact: a base point x₀ with weight w x₀ = 1 (the residue-field degree of a
k-rational point is 1) makes the descended weighted degree map split.
Concretely the class [x₀] provides a degree-one element, so n ↦ n • [x₀] is a group-theoretic
section degreeSection of weightedDegreeClass w h. The descended weighted degree map is
therefore surjective, and the class group decomposes as the internal direct sum of picZero and
the line spanned by [x₀]:
Cl(X) ≃+ picZero × ℤ.
This is the abstract shadow of the geometric statement that, once a k-rational point is chosen,
the full Picard group Pic(X) of a smooth proper curve splits as Pic⁰(X) ⊕ ℤ by the degree.
Without a rational point the weighted degree map need not be surjective (its image is d·ℤ
for the index d of the residue degrees), so the weight-one hypothesis is essential and the
construction is non-vacuous.
This advances TauCetiRoadmap/JacobianChallenge/README.md, Layer A, "Pic⁰ X = ker deg (as an
abstract group)", by exhibiting Cl(X) as an extension of ℤ by Pic⁰ that the rational point
splits, the form in which the degree-zero part is used downstream. It reuses Tau Ceti's
WeilDivisor and OrderSystem API and Mathlib's zmultiplesHom and AddMonoidHom/AddEquiv
machinery; no external mathematics is vendored.
The degree section at a base point #
The homomorphism n ↦ n • [x₀], sending an integer n to the class of n copies of
the base point x₀. When w x₀ = 1, it is a right inverse of weightedDegreeClass,
splitting the degree map.
Equations
Instances For
The descended weighted degree of the base-point class is the weight of the base point.
The descended weighted degree of the degree section at n is n * w x₀.
With a weight-one base point, the degree section is a right inverse of the descended
weighted degree: weightedDegreeClass ∘ degreeSection = id.
With a weight-one base point, the descended weighted degree is surjective onto ℤ.
With a weight-one base point, the degree section is injective.
The product decomposition #
The degree-correction homomorphism
c ↦ c - (weightedDegreeClass w h c) • [x₀]. With a weight-one base point its image lands in
picZero, and together with degreeSection it splits the class group as picZero × ℤ.
Equations
Instances For
Changing the base point in the class-group degree correction adds the weighted degree of the class times the base-point-change divisor class.
The degree correction lands in picZero: the degree-corrected class has weighted degree zero,
provided the base point has weight one.
Degree correction acts on a divisor class by subtracting the base-point divisor scaled by the weighted degree of any representative.
A class already in picZero is unchanged by degree correction.
The degree correction of a coerced picZero class is the same class in the ambient class
group.
The forward map
c ↦ (c - (weightedDegreeClass w h c) • [x₀], weightedDegreeClass w h c) of the degree splitting
at a weight-one base point x₀: the first component is the weighted-degree-corrected class,
which lands in picZero, and the second is the descended weighted degree. Together with
degreeSplitInverse this assembles the product decomposition
classGroupAddEquivPicZeroProdInt.

The inverse map (p, n) ↦ p + n • [x₀] of the degree splitting at a base point x₀:

Instances For
The class group of an order system with weighted-degree-zero principal divisors and a
weight-one base point splits as the direct product of the abstract Pic⁰ and ℤ.
The forward map sends a class c to its weighted-degree-corrected part
c - (weightedDegreeClass w h c) • [x₀] in picZero together with
weightedDegreeClass w h c; the inverse sends (p, n) to p + n • [x₀]. This is the abstract
form of the splitting Pic(X) ≃ Pic⁰(X) ⊕ ℤ of a smooth proper curve with a rational point.

Under the splitting Cl(X) ≃+ picZero × ℤ, a coerced picZero class has Pic⁰ component
itself and degree component 0.
