Biquadratic morphism for elliptic sums and differences

ID: biquadratic-morphism-for-elliptic-sums-and-differences

For a nonsingular Short Weierstrass form over a number field, the unordered pair of coordinates depends only on . As a binary quadratic's roots, that pair is represented in by the coefficients
with polynomial . Homogenizing gives three forms of bidegree on . They have no common zero. Off the diagonal ; on the finite diagonal , and for , so simultaneous vanishing would make a multiple root of . At , the homogeneous is nonzero. Therefore they define a global morphism, also when a sum or difference is the identity.
