Elliptic-curve morphisms

This class serves as a common parent for various specializations of morphisms between elliptic curves, with the aim of providing a common interface regardless of implementation details.

Current implementations of elliptic-curve morphisms (child classes):

• EllipticCurveIsogeny

• WeierstrassIsomorphism

• EllipticCurveHom_composite

• EllipticCurveHom_velusqrt

AUTHORS:

• See authors of EllipticCurveIsogeny. Some of the code in this class was lifted from there.

• Lorenz Panny (2021): Refactor isogenies and isomorphisms into the common EllipticCurveHom interface.

class sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom.EllipticCurveHom

Bases: sage.categories.morphism.Morphism

Base class for elliptic-curve morphisms.

as_morphism()

Return self as a morphism of projective schemes.

EXAMPLES:

sage: k = GF(11)
sage: E = EllipticCurve(k, [1,1])
sage: Q = E(6,5)
sage: phi = E.isogeny(Q)
sage: mor = phi.as_morphism()
sage: mor.domain() == E
True
sage: mor.codomain() == phi.codomain()
True
sage: mor(Q) == phi(Q)
True

degree()

Return the degree of this elliptic-curve morphism.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(QQ, [0,0,0,1,0])
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, E((0,0)))
sage: phi.degree()
2
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, [0,1,0,1])
sage: phi.degree()
4

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(31), [1,0,0,1,2])
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, [17, 1])
sage: phi.degree()
3

Degrees are multiplicative, so the degree of a composite isogeny is the product of the degrees of the individual factors:

sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite import EllipticCurveHom_composite
sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(419), [1,0])
sage: P, = E.gens()
sage: phi = EllipticCurveHom_composite(E, P+P)
sage: phi.degree()
210
sage: phi.degree() == prod(f.degree() for f in phi.factors())
True

Isomorphisms always have degree \(1\) by definition:

sage: E1 = EllipticCurve([1,2,3,4,5])
sage: E2 = EllipticCurve_from_j(E1.j_invariant())
sage: E1.isomorphism_to(E2).degree()
1

dual()

Return the dual of this elliptic-curve morphism.

Implemented by child classes. For examples, see:

• EllipticCurveIsogeny.dual()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism.dual()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite.EllipticCurveHom_composite.dual()

formal(prec=20)

Return the formal isogeny associated to this elliptic-curve morphism as a power series in the variable \(t=-x/y\) on the domain curve.

INPUT:

• prec – (default: 20), the precision with which the computations in the formal group are carried out.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(13),[1,7])
sage: phi = E.isogeny(E(10,4))
sage: phi.formal()
t + 12*t^13 + 2*t^17 + 8*t^19 + 2*t^21 + O(t^23)

sage: E = EllipticCurve([0,1])
sage: phi = E.isogeny(E(2,3))
sage: phi.formal(prec=10)
t + 54*t^5 + 255*t^7 + 2430*t^9 + 19278*t^11 + O(t^13)

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a2')
sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: phi = E.isogeny(x^2 + 101*x + 12751/5)
sage: phi.formal(prec=7)
t - 2724/5*t^5 + 209046/5*t^7 - 4767/5*t^8 + 29200946/5*t^9 + O(t^10)

sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, [ E((0,-1)), E((0,1))])
sage: phi.is_injective()
False
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, E(0))
sage: phi.is_injective()
True

is_normalized()

Determine whether this morphism is a normalized isogeny.

Note

An isogeny \(\varphi\colon E_1\to E_2\) between two given Weierstrass equations is said to be normalized if the \(\varphi^*(\omega_2) = \omega_1\), where \(\omega_1\) and \(\omega_2\) are the invariant differentials on \(E_1\) and \(E_2\) corresponding to the given equation.

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism import WeierstrassIsomorphism
sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(7), [0,0,0,1,0])
sage: R.<x> = GF(7)[]
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, x)
sage: phi.is_normalized()
True
sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (3, 0, 0, 0))
sage: phi = isom * phi
sage: phi.is_normalized()
False
sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (5, 0, 0, 0))

sage: phi = isom * phi
sage: phi.is_normalized()
True

sage: F = GF(2^5, 'alpha'); alpha = F.gen()
sage: E = EllipticCurve(F, [1,0,1,1,1])
sage: R.<x> = F[]
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, x+1)
sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (alpha, 0, 0, 0))
sage: phi.is_normalized()
True
sage: phi = isom * phi
sage: phi.is_normalized()
False
sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (1/alpha, 0, 0, 0))
sage: phi = isom * phi
sage: phi.is_normalized()
True
sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (1, 1, 1, 1))
sage: phi = isom * phi
sage: phi.is_normalized()
True

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: f = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 79/4
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, f)
sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (2, 0, 0, 0))

sage: isom = WeierstrassIsomorphism(phi.codomain(), (1, 1, 1, 1))
sage: phi = isom * phi
sage: phi.is_normalized()
True

ALGORITHM: We check if scaling_factor() returns \(1\).

is_separable()

Determine whether or not this morphism is separable.

Note

This method currently always returns True as Sage does not yet implement inseparable isogenies. This will probably change in the future.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(17), [0,0,0,3,0])
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E,  E((0,0)))
sage: phi.is_separable()
True

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, E.torsion_points())
sage: phi.is_separable()
True

is_surjective()

Determine whether or not this morphism is surjective.

Note

This method currently always returns True, since a non-constant map of algebraic curves must be surjective, and Sage does not yet implement the constant zero map. This will probably change in the future.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
sage: R.<x> = QQ[]
sage: f = x^2 + x - 29/5
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, f)
sage: phi.is_surjective()
True

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(7), [0,0,0,1,0])
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E,  E((0,0)))
sage: phi.is_surjective()
True

sage: F = GF(2^5, 'omega')
sage: E = EllipticCurve(j=F(0))
sage: R.<x> = F[]
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, x)
sage: phi.is_surjective()
True

is_zero()

Check whether this elliptic-curve morphism is the zero map.

Note

This function currently always returns True as Sage does not yet implement the constant zero morphism. This will probably change in the future.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(j=GF(7)(0))
sage: phi = EllipticCurveIsogeny(E, [E(0,1), E(0,-1)])
sage: phi.is_zero()
False

kernel_polynomial()

Return the kernel polynomial of this elliptic-curve morphism.

Implemented by child classes. For examples, see:

• EllipticCurveIsogeny.kernel_polynomial()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism.kernel_polynomial()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite.EllipticCurveHom_composite.kernel_polynomial()

rational_maps()

Return the pair of explicit rational maps defining this elliptic-curve morphism as fractions of bivariate polynomials in \(x\) and \(y\).

Implemented by child classes. For examples, see:

• EllipticCurveIsogeny.rational_maps()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism.rational_maps()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite.EllipticCurveHom_composite.rational_maps()

scaling_factor()

Return the Weierstrass scaling factor associated to this elliptic-curve morphism.

The scaling factor is the constant \(u\) (in the base field) such that \(\varphi^* \omega_2 = u \omega_1\), where \(\varphi: E_1\to E_2\) is this morphism and \(\omega_i\) are the standard Weierstrass differentials on \(E_i\) defined by \(\mathrm dx/(2y+a_1x+a_3)\).

Implemented by child classes. For examples, see:

• EllipticCurveIsogeny.scaling_factor()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism.scaling_factor()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite.EllipticCurveHom_composite.scaling_factor()

x_rational_map()

Return the \(x\)-coordinate rational map of this elliptic-curve morphism as a univariate rational expression in \(x\).

Implemented by child classes. For examples, see:

• EllipticCurveIsogeny.x_rational_map()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism.x_rational_map()

• sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite.EllipticCurveHom_composite.x_rational_map()

sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom.compare_via_evaluation(left, right)

Test if two elliptic-curve morphisms are equal by evaluating them at enough points.

INPUT:

• left, right – EllipticCurveHom objects

ALGORITHM:

We use the fact that two isogenies of equal degree \(d\) must be the same if and only if they behave identically on more than \(4d\) points. (It suffices to check this on a few points that generate a large enough subgroup.)

If the domain curve does not have sufficiently many rational points, the base field is extended first: Taking an extension of degree \(O(\log(d))\) suffices.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(83), [1,0])
sage: phi = E.isogeny(12*E.0, model='montgomery'); phi
Isogeny of degree 7 from Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x over Finite Field of size 83 to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 70*x^2 + x over Finite Field of size 83
sage: psi = phi.dual(); psi
Isogeny of degree 7 from Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 70*x^2 + x over Finite Field of size 83 to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x over Finite Field of size 83
sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_composite import EllipticCurveHom_composite
sage: mu = EllipticCurveHom_composite.from_factors([phi, psi])
sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom import compare_via_evaluation
sage: compare_via_evaluation(mu, E.multiplication_by_m_isogeny(7))
True
