Period lattices of elliptic curves and related functions¶

Let \(E\) be an elliptic curve defined over a number field \(K\) (including \(\QQ\)). We attach a period lattice (a discrete rank 2 subgroup of \(\CC\)) to each embedding of \(K\) into \(\CC\).

In the case of real embeddings, the lattice is stable under complex conjugation and is called a real lattice. These have two types: rectangular, (the real curve has two connected components and positive discriminant) or non-rectangular (one connected component, negative discriminant).

The periods are computed to arbitrary precision using the AGM (Gauss’s Arithmetic-Geometric Mean).

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = polygen(ZZ, 'x')
sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^3 - 2)                                                  # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: E = EllipticCurve([0,1,0,a,a])                                                # needs sage.rings.number_field

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> x = polygen(ZZ, 'x')
>>> K = NumberField(x**Integer(3) - Integer(2), names=('a',)); (a,) = K._first_ngens(1)# needs sage.rings.number_field
>>> E = EllipticCurve([Integer(0),Integer(1),Integer(0),a,a])                                                # needs sage.rings.number_field

First we try a real embedding:

sage: emb = K.embeddings(RealField())[0]                                            # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: L = E.period_lattice(emb); L                                                  # needs sage.rings.number_field
Period lattice associated to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x^2 + a*x + a
 over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
 with respect to the embedding Ring morphism:
   From: Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
   To:   Algebraic Real Field
   Defn: a |--> 1.259921049894873?

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> emb = K.embeddings(RealField())[Integer(0)]                                            # needs sage.rings.number_field
>>> L = E.period_lattice(emb); L                                                  # needs sage.rings.number_field
Period lattice associated to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x^2 + a*x + a
 over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
 with respect to the embedding Ring morphism:
   From: Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
   To:   Algebraic Real Field
   Defn: a |--> 1.259921049894873?

The first basis period is real:

sage: L.basis()                                                                     # needs sage.rings.number_field
(3.81452977217855, 1.90726488608927 + 1.34047785962440*I)
sage: L.is_real()                                                                   # needs sage.rings.number_field
True

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> L.basis()                                                                     # needs sage.rings.number_field
(3.81452977217855, 1.90726488608927 + 1.34047785962440*I)
>>> L.is_real()                                                                   # needs sage.rings.number_field
True

For a basis \(\omega_1,\omega_2\) normalised so that \(\omega_1/\omega_2\) is in the fundamental region of the upper half-plane, use the method normalised_basis() instead:

sage: L.normalised_basis()                                                          # needs sage.rings.number_field
(1.90726488608927 - 1.34047785962440*I, -1.90726488608927 - 1.34047785962440*I)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> L.normalised_basis()                                                          # needs sage.rings.number_field
(1.90726488608927 - 1.34047785962440*I, -1.90726488608927 - 1.34047785962440*I)

Next a complex embedding:

sage: emb = K.embeddings(ComplexField())[0]                                         # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: L = E.period_lattice(emb); L                                                  # needs sage.rings.number_field
Period lattice associated to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x^2 + a*x + a
 over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
 with respect to the embedding Ring morphism:
   From: Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
   To:   Algebraic Field
   Defn: a |--> -0.6299605249474365? - 1.091123635971722?*I

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> emb = K.embeddings(ComplexField())[Integer(0)]                                         # needs sage.rings.number_field
>>> L = E.period_lattice(emb); L                                                  # needs sage.rings.number_field
Period lattice associated to Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x^2 + a*x + a
 over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
 with respect to the embedding Ring morphism:
   From: Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^3 - 2
   To:   Algebraic Field
   Defn: a |--> -0.6299605249474365? - 1.091123635971722?*I

In this case, the basis \(\omega_1\), \(\omega_2\) is always normalised so that \(\tau = \omega_1/\omega_2\) is in the fundamental region in the upper half plane:

sage: # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: w1, w2 = L.basis(); w1, w2
(-1.37588604166076 - 2.58560946624443*I, -2.10339907847356 + 0.428378776460622*I)
sage: L.is_real()
False
sage: tau = w1/w2; tau
0.387694505032876 + 1.30821088214407*I
sage: L.normalised_basis()
(-1.37588604166076 - 2.58560946624443*I, -2.10339907847356 + 0.428378776460622*I)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> # needs sage.rings.number_field
>>> w1, w2 = L.basis(); w1, w2
(-1.37588604166076 - 2.58560946624443*I, -2.10339907847356 + 0.428378776460622*I)
>>> L.is_real()
False
>>> tau = w1/w2; tau

We test that bug Issue #8415 (caused by a PARI bug fixed in v2.3.5) is OK:

sage: # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField(-7)

class sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.period_lattice.PeriodLattice(base_ring, rank, degree, sparse=False, coordinate_ring=None, category=None)[source]¶

Bases: FreeModule_generic_pid

The class for the period lattice of an algebraic variety.

Bases: PeriodLattice

The class for the period lattice of an elliptic curve.

Currently supported are elliptic curves defined over \(\QQ\), and elliptic curves defined over a number field with a real or complex embedding, where the lattice constructed depends on that embedding.

basis(prec=None, algorithm='sage')[source]¶

Return a basis for this period lattice as a 2-tuple.

INPUT:

  • prec – (default: None) precision in bits (default precision if None)

  • algorithm – string (default: 'sage'); choice of implementation (for real embeddings only) between 'sage' (native Sage implementation) or 'pari' (use the PARI library: only available for real embeddings)

OUTPUT:

(tuple of Complex) \((\omega_1,\omega_2)\) where the lattice is \(\ZZ\omega_1 + \ZZ\omega_2\). If the lattice is real then \(\omega_1\) is real and positive, \(\Im(\omega_2)>0\) and \(\Re(\omega_2/\omega_1)\) is either \(0\) (for rectangular lattices) or \(\frac{1}{2}\) (for non-rectangular lattices). Otherwise, \(\omega_1/\omega_2\) is in the fundamental region of the upper half-plane. If the latter normalisation is required for real lattices, use the method normalised_basis() instead.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: E.period_lattice().basis()
(2.99345864623196, 2.45138938198679*I)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve('37a')
>>> E.period_lattice().basis()
(2.99345864623196, 2.45138938198679*I)

This shows that the issue reported at Issue #3954 is fixed:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: b1 = E.period_lattice().basis(prec=30)
sage: b2 = E.period_lattice().basis(prec=30)
sage: b1 == b2
True

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve('37a')
>>> b1 = E.period_lattice().basis(prec=Integer(30))
>>> b2 = E.period_lattice().basis(prec=Integer(30))
>>> b1 == b2
True

This shows that the issue reported at Issue #4064 is fixed:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: E.period_lattice().basis(prec=30)[0].parent()
Real Field with 30 bits of precision
sage: E.period_lattice().basis(prec=100)[0].parent()
Real Field with 100 bits of precision

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve('37a')

basis_matrix(prec=None, normalised=False)[source]¶

Return the basis matrix of this period lattice.

INPUT:

  • prec – integer or None (default); real precision in bits (default real precision if None)

  • normalised – boolean (default: False); if True and the embedding is real, use the normalised basis (see normalised_basis()) instead of the default

OUTPUT:

A \(2\times 2\) real matrix whose rows are the lattice basis vectors, after identifying \(\CC\) with \(\RR^2\).

coordinates(z, rounding=None)[source]¶

Return the coordinates of a complex number w.r.t. the lattice basis.

INPUT:

  • z – complex number

  • rounding – (default: None) whether and how to round the output (see below)

OUTPUT:

When rounding is None (the default), returns a tuple of reals \(x\), \(y\) such that \(z=xw_1+yw_2\) where \(w_1\), \(w_2\) are a basis for the lattice (normalised in the case of complex embeddings).

When rounding is 'round', returns a tuple of integers \(n_1\), \(n_2\) which are the closest integers to the \(x\), \(y\) defined above. If \(z\) is in the lattice these are the coordinates of \(z\) with respect to the lattice basis.

When rounding is 'floor', returns a tuple of integers \(n_1\), \(n_2\) which are the integer parts to the \(x\), \(y\) defined above. These are used in reduce()

e_log_RC(xP, yP, prec=None, reduce=True)[source]¶

Return the elliptic logarithm of a real or complex point.

INPUT:

  • xP, yP (real or complex) – Coordinates of a point on the embedded elliptic curve associated with this period lattice.

  • prec – (default: None) real precision in bits (default real precision if None)

  • reduce – boolean (default: True); if True, the result is reduced with respect to the period lattice basis

OUTPUT:

(complex number) The elliptic logarithm of the point \((xP,yP)\) with respect to this period lattice. If \(E\) is the elliptic curve and \(\sigma:K\to\CC\) the embedding, the returned value \(z\) is such that \(z\pmod{L}\) maps to \((xP,yP)=\sigma(P)\) under the standard Weierstrass isomorphism from \(\CC/L\) to \(\sigma(E)\). If reduce is True, the output is reduced so that it is in the fundamental period parallelogram with respect to the normalised lattice basis.

ALGORITHM:

Uses the complex AGM. See [CT2013] for details.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('389a')
sage: L = E.period_lattice()
sage: P = E([-1,1])

elliptic_exponential(z, to_curve=True)[source]¶

Return the elliptic exponential of a complex number.

INPUT:

  • z – complex number (viewed modulo this period lattice)

  • to_curve – boolean (default: True); see below

OUTPUT:

  • If to_curve is False, a 2-tuple of real or complex numbers representing the point \((x,y) = (\wp(z),\wp'(z))\) where \(\wp\) denotes the Weierstrass \(\wp\)-function with respect to this lattice.

  • If to_curve is True, the point \((X,Y) = (x-b_2/12,y-(a_1(x-b_2/12)-a_3)/2)\) as a point in \(E(\RR)\) or \(E(\CC)\), with \((x,y) = (\wp(z),\wp'(z))\) as above, where \(E\) is the elliptic curve over \(\RR\) or \(\CC\) whose period lattice this is.

  • If the lattice is real and \(z\) is also real then the output is a pair of real numbers if to_curve is True, or a point in \(E(\RR)\) if to_curve is False.

Note

The precision is taken from that of the input z.

Very small \(z\) are handled properly (see Issue #8820):

elliptic_logarithm(P, prec=None, reduce=True)[source]¶

Return the elliptic logarithm of a point.

INPUT:

  • P – point on the elliptic curve associated with this period lattice

  • prec – (default: None) real precision in bits (default real precision if None)

  • reduce – boolean (default: True); if True, the result is reduced with respect to the period lattice basis

OUTPUT:

(complex number) The elliptic logarithm of the point \(P\) with respect to this period lattice. If \(E\) is the elliptic curve and \(\sigma:K\to\CC\) the embedding, the returned value \(z\) is such that \(z\pmod{L}\) maps to \(\sigma(P)\) under the standard Weierstrass isomorphism from \(\CC/L\) to \(\sigma(E)\). If reduce is True, the output is reduced so that it is in the fundamental period parallelogram with respect to the normalised lattice basis.

ALGORITHM:

Uses the complex AGM. See [CT2013] for details.

Some complex examples, taken from the paper by Cremona and Thongjunthug:

sage: # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: K.<i> = QuadraticField(-1)
sage: a4 = 9*i - 10
sage: a6 = 21 - i

sage: e1 = 3 - 2*i; e2 = 1 + i; e3 = -4 + i
sage: emb = K.embeddings(CC)[1]
sage: L = E.period_lattice(emb)
sage: P = E(2 - i, 4 + 2*i)

>>> from sage.all import *

>>> emb = K.embeddings(CC)[Integer(1)]
>>> L = E.period_lattice(emb)
>>> P = E(Integer(2) - i, Integer(4) + Integer(2)*i)

By default, the output is reduced with respect to the normalised lattice basis, so that its coordinates with respect to that basis lie in the interval [0,1):

sage: z = L.elliptic_logarithm(P, prec=100); z                              # needs sage.rings.number_field

Using reduce=False this step can be omitted. In this case the coordinates are usually in the interval [-0.5,0.5), but this is not guaranteed. This option is mainly for testing purposes:

The elliptic logs of the 2-torsion points are half-periods:

We check this by doubling and seeing that the resulting coordinates are integers:

gens(prec=None, algorithm='sage')[source]¶

Return a basis for this period lattice as a 2-tuple.

This is an alias for basis(). See the docstring there for a more in-depth explanation and further examples.

INPUT:

  • prec – (default: None) precision in bits (default precision if None)

  • algorithm – string (default: 'sage'); choice of implementation (for real embeddings only) between 'sage' (native Sage implementation) or 'pari' (use the PARI library: only available for real embeddings)

OUTPUT:

(tuple of Complex) \((\omega_1,\omega_2)\) where the lattice is \(\ZZ\omega_1 + \ZZ\omega_2\). If the lattice is real then \(\omega_1\) is real and positive, \(\Im(\omega_2)>0\) and \(\Re(\omega_2/\omega_1)\) is either \(0\) (for rectangular lattices) or \(\frac{1}{2}\) (for non-rectangular lattices). Otherwise, \(\omega_1/\omega_2\) is in the fundamental region of the upper half-plane. If the latter normalisation is required for real lattices, use the method normalised_basis() instead.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: E.period_lattice().gens()
(2.99345864623196, 2.45138938198679*I)

property is_approximate¶

self.is_approximate is deprecated, use not self.curve().is_exact() instead.

Return True if this period lattice is real.

EXAMPLES:

>>> K = QuadraticField(-Integer(1), names=('i',)); (i,) = K._first_ngens(1)
>>> E = EllipticCurve(K, [Integer(0),Integer(0),Integer(0),i,Integer(2)*i])

sage: [E.period_lattice(emb).is_real() for emb in K.embeddings(CC)]         # needs sage.rings.number_field
[False, False, True]

>>> from sage.all import *

>>> [E.period_lattice(emb).is_real() for emb in K.embeddings(CC)]         # needs sage.rings.number_field
[False, False, True]

ALGORITHM:

The lattice is real if it is associated to a real embedding; such lattices are stable under conjugation.

is_rectangular()[source]¶

Return True if this period lattice is rectangular.

Note

Only defined for real lattices; a RuntimeError is raised for non-real lattices.

EXAMPLES:

sage: f = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: f.period_lattice().basis()
(1.26920930427955, 0.634604652139777 + 1.45881661693850*I)
sage: f.period_lattice().is_rectangular()
False

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> f = EllipticCurve('11a')
>>> f.period_lattice().basis()
(1.26920930427955, 0.634604652139777 + 1.45881661693850*I)
>>> f.period_lattice().is_rectangular()
False


sage: f = EllipticCurve('37b')
sage: f.period_lattice().basis()
(1.08852159290423, 1.76761067023379*I)
sage: f.period_lattice().is_rectangular()
True

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> f = EllipticCurve('37b')
>>> f.period_lattice().basis()
(1.08852159290423, 1.76761067023379*I)
>>> f.period_lattice().is_rectangular()
True

ALGORITHM:

The period lattice is rectangular precisely if the discriminant of the Weierstrass equation is positive, or equivalently if the number of real components is 2.

normalised_basis(prec=None, algorithm='sage')[source]¶

Return a normalised basis for this period lattice as a 2-tuple.

INPUT:

  • prec – (default: None) precision in bits (default precision if None)

  • algorithm – string (default: 'sage'); choice of implementation (for real embeddings only) between 'sage' (native Sage implementation) or 'pari' (use the PARI library: only available for real embeddings)

OUTPUT:

(tuple of Complex) \((\omega_1,\omega_2)\) where the lattice has the form \(\ZZ\omega_1 + \ZZ\omega_2\). The basis is normalised so that \(\omega_1/\omega_2\) is in the fundamental region of the upper half-plane. For an alternative normalisation for real lattices (with the first period real), use the method basis() instead.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: E.period_lattice().normalised_basis()
(2.99345864623196, -2.45138938198679*I)

omega(prec=None, bsd_normalise=False)[source]¶

Return the real or complex volume of this period lattice.

INPUT:

  • prec – integer or None (default); real precision in bits (default real precision if None)

  • bsd_normalise – boolean (default: False); flag to use BSD normalisation in the complex case

OUTPUT:

(real) For real lattices, this is the real period times the number of connected components. For non-real lattices it is the complex area, or double the area if bsd_normalise is True.

Note

If the curve is given by a global minimal Weierstrass equation, then with bsd_normalise = True, this gives the correct period in the BSD conjecture: the product of this quantity over all embeddings appears in the BSD formula. In general a correction factor is required to make allowance for the model.

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: E.period_lattice().omega()
5.98691729246392

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve('37a')
>>> E.period_lattice().omega()
5.98691729246392

This is not a minimal model:

sage: E = EllipticCurve([0, -432*6^2])
sage: E.period_lattice().omega()
0.486109385710056

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve([Integer(0), -Integer(432)*Integer(6)**Integer(2)])
>>> E.period_lattice().omega()
0.486109385710056

If you were to plug the above omega into the BSD conjecture, you would get an incorrect value, out by a factor of 2. The following works though:

sage: F = E.minimal_model()
sage: F.period_lattice().omega()
0.972218771420113

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> F = E.minimal_model()

sigma(z, prec=None, flag=0)[source]¶

Return the value of the Weierstrass sigma function for this elliptic curve period lattice.

INPUT:

  • z – a complex number

  • prec – (default: None) real precision in bits

    (default real precision if None)

  • flag –

    0: (default) ???;

    1: computes an arbitrary determination of log(sigma(z))

    2, 3: same using the product expansion instead of theta series. ???

Note

The reason for the ???’s above, is that the PARI documentation for ellsigma is very vague. Also this is only implemented for curves defined over \(\QQ\).

Todo

This function does not use any of the PeriodLattice functions and so should be moved to ell_rational_field.

EXAMPLES:

sage: EllipticCurve('389a1').period_lattice().sigma(CC(2,1))
2.60912163570108 - 0.200865080824587*I

tau(prec=None, algorithm='sage')[source]¶

Return the upper half-plane parameter in the fundamental region.

INPUT:

  • prec – (default: None) precision in bits (default precision if None)

  • algorithm – string (default: 'sage'); choice of implementation (for real embeddings only) between ‘sage’ (native Sage implementation) or ‘pari’ (use the PARI library: only available for real embeddings)
