Affine curves#

Affine curves in Sage are curves in an affine space or an affine plane.

EXAMPLES:

We can construct curves in either an affine plane:

sage: A.<x,y> = AffineSpace(QQ, 2)
sage: C = Curve([y - x^2], A); C
Affine Plane Curve over Rational Field defined by -x^2 + y
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> A = AffineSpace(QQ, Integer(2), names=('x', 'y',)); (x, y,) = A._first_ngens(2)
>>> C = Curve([y - x**Integer(2)], A); C
Affine Plane Curve over Rational Field defined by -x^2 + y

or in higher dimensional affine space:

sage: A.<x,y,z,w> = AffineSpace(QQ, 4)
sage: C = Curve([y - x^2, z - w^3, w - y^4], A); C
Affine Curve over Rational Field defined by -x^2 + y, -w^3 + z, -y^4 + w
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> A = AffineSpace(QQ, Integer(4), names=('x', 'y', 'z', 'w',)); (x, y, z, w,) = A._first_ngens(4)
>>> C = Curve([y - x**Integer(2), z - w**Integer(3), w - y**Integer(4)], A); C
Affine Curve over Rational Field defined by -x^2 + y, -w^3 + z, -y^4 + w

Integral affine curves over finite fields#

If the curve is defined over a finite field and integral, that is reduced and irreducible, its function field is tightly coupled with the curve so that advanced computations based on Sage’s global function field machinery are available.

EXAMPLES:

sage: k.<a> = GF(2)
sage: A.<x,y,z> = AffineSpace(k, 3)
sage: C = Curve([x^2 + x - y^3, y^4 - y - z^3], A)
sage: C.genus()
10
sage: C.function_field()
Function field in z defined by z^9 + x^8 + x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> k = GF(Integer(2), names=('a',)); (a,) = k._first_ngens(1)
>>> A = AffineSpace(k, Integer(3), names=('x', 'y', 'z',)); (x, y, z,) = A._first_ngens(3)
>>> C = Curve([x**Integer(2) + x - y**Integer(3), y**Integer(4) - y - z**Integer(3)], A)
>>> C.genus()
10
>>> C.function_field()
Function field in z defined by z^9 + x^8 + x^6 + x^5 + x^4 + x^3 + x

Closed points of arbitrary degree can be computed:

sage: # long time
sage: C.closed_points()
[Point (x, y, z), Point (x + 1, y, z)]
sage: C.closed_points(2)
[Point (x^2 + x + 1, y + 1, z),
 Point (y^2 + y + 1, x + y, z),
 Point (y^2 + y + 1, x + y + 1, z)]
sage: p = _[0]
sage: p.places()
[Place (x^2 + x + 1, (1/(x^4 + x^2 + 1))*z^7 + (1/(x^4 + x^2 + 1))*z^6 + 1)]
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> # long time
>>> C.closed_points()
[Point (x, y, z), Point (x + 1, y, z)]
>>> C.closed_points(Integer(2))
[Point (x^2 + x + 1, y + 1, z),
 Point (y^2 + y + 1, x + y, z),
 Point (y^2 + y + 1, x + y + 1, z)]
>>> p = _[Integer(0)]
>>> p.places()
[Place (x^2 + x + 1, (1/(x^4 + x^2 + 1))*z^7 + (1/(x^4 + x^2 + 1))*z^6 + 1)]

The places at infinity correspond to the extra closed points of the curve’s projective closure:

sage: C.places_at_infinity()                # long time
[Place (1/x, 1/x*z)]
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> C.places_at_infinity()                # long time
[Place (1/x, 1/x*z)]

It is easy to transit to and from the function field of the curve:

sage: fx = C(x)
sage: fy = C(y)
sage: fx^2 + fx - fy^3
0
sage: fx.divisor()
-9*Place (1/x, 1/x*z)
 + 9*Place (x, z)
sage: p, = fx.zeros()
sage: C.place_to_closed_point(p)
Point (x, y, z)
sage: _.rational_point()
(0, 0, 0)
sage: _.closed_point()
Point (x, y, z)
sage: _.place()
Place (x, z)
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> fx = C(x)
>>> fy = C(y)
>>> fx**Integer(2) + fx - fy**Integer(3)
0
>>> fx.divisor()
-9*Place (1/x, 1/x*z)
 + 9*Place (x, z)
>>> p, = fx.zeros()
>>> C.place_to_closed_point(p)
Point (x, y, z)
>>> _.rational_point()
(0, 0, 0)
>>> _.closed_point()
Point (x, y, z)
>>> _.place()
Place (x, z)

Integral affine curves over \(\QQ\)#

An integral curve over \(\QQ\) is equipped also with the function field. Unlike over finite fields, it is not possible to enumerate closed points.

EXAMPLES:

sage: A.<x,y> = AffineSpace(QQ, 2)
sage: C = Curve(x^2 + y^2 -1)
sage: p = C(0,1)
sage: p
(0, 1)

sage: P2 = C.plot((x, -1, 1), (y, 0, 2))  # half circle                             # needs sage.plot sage.symbolic
sage: P1 + P2                                                                       # needs sage.plot sage.symbolic

Affine curves over fields.

blowup(P=None)[source]#

Return the blow up of this affine curve at the point P.

The blow up is described by affine charts. This curve must be irreducible.

INPUT:

  • P – (default: None) a point on this curve at which to blow up; if None, then P is taken to be the origin.

OUTPUT: A tuple of

  • a tuple of curves in affine space of the same dimension as the ambient space of this curve, which define the blow up in each affine chart.

  • a tuple of tuples such that the jth element of the ith tuple is the transition map from the ith affine patch to the jth affine patch.

  • a tuple consisting of the restrictions of the projection map from the blow up back to the original curve, restricted to each affine patch. There the ith element will be the projection from the ith affine patch.

projection(indices, AS=None)[source]#

Return the projection of this curve onto the coordinates specified by indices.

INPUT:

  • indices – a list or tuple of distinct integers specifying the indices of the coordinates to use in the projection. Can also be a list or tuple consisting of variables of the coordinate ring of the ambient space of this curve. If integers are used to specify the coordinates, 0 denotes the first coordinate. The length of indices must be between two and one less than the dimension of the ambient space of this curve, inclusive.

  • AS – (default: None) the affine space the projected curve will be defined in. This space must be defined over the same base field as this curve, and must have dimension equal to the length of indices. This space is constructed if not specified.

OUTPUT: A tuple of

  • a scheme morphism from this curve to affine space of dimension equal to the number of coordinates specified in indices

  • the affine subscheme that is the image of that morphism. If the image is a curve, the second element of the tuple will be a curve.

resolution_of_singularities(extend=False)[source]#

Return a nonsingular model for this affine curve created by blowing up its singular points.

The nonsingular model is given as a collection of affine patches that cover it. If extend is False and if the base field is a number field, or if the base field is a finite field, the model returned may have singularities with coordinates not contained in the base field. An error is returned if this curve is already nonsingular, or if it has no singular points over its base field. This curve must be irreducible, and must be defined over a number field or finite field.

INPUT:

  • extend – (default: False) specifies whether to extend the base field when necessary to find all singular points when this curve is defined over a number field. If extend is False, then only singularities with coordinates in the base field of this curve will be resolved. However, setting extend to True will slow down computations.

OUTPUT: A tuple of

  • a tuple of curves in affine space of the same dimension as the ambient space of this curve, which represent affine patches of the resolution of singularities.

  • a tuple of tuples such that the jth element of the ith tuple is the transition map from the ith patch to the jth patch.

  • a tuple consisting of birational maps from the patches back to the original curve that were created by composing the projection maps generated from the blow up computations. There the ith element will be a map from the ith patch.

multiplicity(P)[source]#

Return the multiplicity of this affine plane curve at the point P.

In the special case of affine plane curves, the multiplicity of an affine plane curve at the point (0,0) can be computed as the minimum of the degrees of the homogeneous components of its defining polynomial. To compute the multiplicity of a different point, a linear change of coordinates is used.

This curve must be defined over a field. An error if raised if P is not a point on this curve.

INPUT:

  • P – a point in the ambient space of this curve.

OUTPUT: An integer.

Bases: AffinePlaneCurve, AffineCurve_field

Affine plane curves over fields.

braid_monodromy()[source]#

Compute the braid monodromy of a projection of the curve.

OUTPUT:

A list of braids. The braids correspond to paths based in the same point; each of this paths is the conjugated of a loop around one of the points in the discriminant of the projection of self.

Note

The projection over the \(x\) axis is used if there are no vertical asymptotes. Otherwise, a linear change of variables is done to fall into the previous case.

Note

This functionality requires the sirocco package to be installed.

If puiseux is False the relations are \((x_j\cdot \tau)\cdot x_j^{-1}\) for \(1\leq j<d\) and \(tau\) a braid in the braid monodromy; finally the presentation is simplified. If puiseux is True, each \(tau\) is decomposed as \(\alpha^{-1}\cdot\beta\cdot\alpha\), where \(\beta\) is a positive braid; the relations are \(((x_j\cdot \beta)\cdot x_j^{-1})\cdot \alpha\) where \(j\) is an integer of the Tietze word of \(\beta\). This presentation is not simplified by default since it represents the homotopy type of the complement of the curve.

Note

The curve must be defined over the rationals or a number field with an embedding over \(\QQbar\). This functionality requires the sirocco package to be installed.

EXAMPLES:

sage: # needs sirocco
sage: A.<x,y> = AffineSpace(QQ, 2)
sage: C = A.curve(y^2 - x^3 - x^2)
sage: C.fundamental_group(puiseux=False)
Finitely presented group < x0 |  >
sage: bm = C.braid_monodromy()
sage: g = C.fundamental_group(simplified=False)
sage: g.sorted_presentation()
Finitely presented group < x0, x1 | x1^-1*x0^-1*x1*x0, x1^-1*x0 >
sage: g.simplified()
Finitely presented group < x0 |  >
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> # needs sirocco
>>> A = AffineSpace(QQ, Integer(2), names=('x', 'y',)); (x, y,) = A._first_ngens(2)
>>> C = A.curve(y**Integer(2) - x**Integer(3) - x**Integer(2))
>>> C.fundamental_group(puiseux=False)
Finitely presented group < x0 |  >
>>> bm = C.braid_monodromy()
>>> g = C.fundamental_group(simplified=False)
>>> g.sorted_presentation()
Finitely presented group < x0, x1 | x1^-1*x0^-1*x1*x0, x1^-1*x0 >
>>> g.simplified()
Finitely presented group < x0 |  >

In the case of number fields, they need to have an embedding to the algebraic field:

sage: # needs sage.rings.number_field
sage: x = polygen(ZZ)
sage: a = QQ[x](x^2 + 5).roots(QQbar)[0][0]
sage: F = NumberField(a.minpoly(), 'a', embedding=a)
sage: F.inject_variables()
Defining a
sage: A.<x,y> = AffineSpace(F, 2)
sage: C = A.curve(y^2 - a*x^3 - x^2)
sage: C.fundamental_group()                     # needs sirocco
Finitely presented group < x0 |  >
sage: C = A.curve(x * (x - 1))
sage: C.fundamental_group()                     # needs sirocco
Finitely presented group < x0, x1 |  >
>>> from sage.all import *
>>> # needs sage.rings.number_field
>>> x = polygen(ZZ)
>>> a = QQ[x](x**Integer(2) + Integer(5)).roots(QQbar)[Integer(0)][Integer(0)]

Defining a
>>> A = AffineSpace(F, Integer(2), names=('x', 'y',)); (x, y,) = A._first_ngens(2)

>>> C.fundamental_group()                     # needs sirocco
Finitely presented group < x0 |  >
>>> C = A.curve(x * (x - Integer(1)))

rational_points(algorithm='enum')[source]#

Return sorted list of all rational points on this curve.
