Kodaira symbols¶
Kodaira symbols encode the type of reduction of an elliptic curve at a (finite) place.
The standard notation for Kodaira Symbols is as a string which is one of \(\rm{I}_m\), \(\rm{II}\), \(\rm{III}\), \(\rm{IV}\), \(\rm{I}^*_m\), \(\rm{II}^*\), \(\rm{III}^*\), \(\rm{IV}^*\), where \(m\) denotes a nonnegative integer. These have been encoded by single integers by different people. For convenience we give here the conversion table between strings, the eclib coding and the PARI encoding.

Return the specified Kodaira symbol.
INPUT:
symbol
– string or integer; either a string of the form “I0”, “I1”, …, “In”, “II”, “III”, “IV”, “I0*”, “I1*”, …, “In*”, “II*”, “III*”, or “IV*”, or an integer encoding a Kodaira symbol using PARI’s conventions
OUTPUT:
(KodairaSymbol) The corresponding Kodaira symbol.
EXAMPLES:
sage: KS = KodairaSymbol sage: [KS(n) for n in range(1,10)] [I0, II, III, IV, I1, I2, I3, I4, I5] sage: [KS(-n) for n in range(1,10)] [I0*, II*, III*, IV*, I1*, I2*, I3*, I4*, I5*] sage: all(KS(str(KS(n))) == KS(n) for n in range(-10,10) if n != 0) True
>>> from sage.all import * >>> KS = KodairaSymbol >>> [KS(n) for n in range(Integer(1),Integer(10))] [I0, II, III, IV, I1, I2, I3, I4, I5] >>> [KS(-n) for n in range(Integer(1),Integer(10))] [I0*, II*, III*, IV*, I1*, I2*, I3*, I4*, I5*] >>> all(KS(str(KS(n))) == KS(n) for n in range(-Integer(10),Integer(10)) if n != Integer(0)) True
- class sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.kodaira_symbol.KodairaSymbol_class(symbol)[source]¶
Bases:
SageObject
Class to hold a Kodaira symbol of an elliptic curve over a \(p\)-adic local field.
Users should use the
KodairaSymbol()
function to construct Kodaira Symbols rather than use the class constructor directly.
