Diagonal cubic elliptic curve

ID: diagonal-cubic-elliptic-curve

For , the smooth projective curve , with identity , is a genus-one elliptic curve. Its partial derivatives have no common projective zero. The invertible linear projective transformation
sends it to , taking to . Indeed . In affine coordinates , this gives and , with inverse , . Thus diagonal sums of two cubes are naturally studied through elliptic-curve addition formula.
