Jacobians of function fields

This module provides base classes for Jacobians of function fields.

Jacobian

The Jacobian of a function field is created by default in the Hess model, with a base divisor of degree \(g\) the genus of the function field. The base divisor is automatically chosen if not given.

sage: P2.<x,y,z> = ProjectiveSpace(GF(29), 2)
sage: C = Curve(x^3 + 5*z^3 - y^2*z, P2)
sage: F = C.function_field()
sage: J = F.jacobian()
sage: J
Jacobian of Function field in z defined by z^3 + 23*y^2*z + 6 (Hess model)
sage: J.base_divisor().degree()
1

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> P2 = ProjectiveSpace(GF(Integer(29)), Integer(2), names=('x', 'y', 'z',)); (x, y, z,) = P2._first_ngens(3)
>>> C = Curve(x**Integer(3) + Integer(5)*z**Integer(3) - y**Integer(2)*z, P2)
>>> F = C.function_field()
>>> J = F.jacobian()
>>> J
Jacobian of Function field in z defined by z^3 + 23*y^2*z + 6 (Hess model)
>>> J.base_divisor().degree()
1

Explicitly specify a model if you want Jacobians in different models.

sage: J_km = F.jacobian(model='km_large')
sage: J_km
Jacobian of Function field in z defined by z^3 + 23*y^2*z + 6 (Khuri-Makdisi large model)

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> J_km = F.jacobian(model='km_large')
>>> J_km
Jacobian of Function field in z defined by z^3 + 23*y^2*z + 6 (Khuri-Makdisi large model)

Group of rational points

The group of rational points of a Jacobian is created from the Jacobian. A point of the Jacobian group is determined by a divisor of degree zero. To represent the point, a divisor of the form \(D-B\) is selected where \(D\) is an effective divisor of the same degree with the base divisor \(B\). Hence the point is simply represented by the divisor \(D\).

sage: G = J.group()
sage: G.order()
30
sage: pl1 = C([1,8,1]).place()
sage: pl2 = C([2,10,1]).place()
sage: p1 = G.point(pl1 - pl2)
sage: p1
[Place (y + 1, z + 6)]
sage: p2 = G.point(pl2 - pl1)
sage: p2
[Place (y + 28, z + 6)]
sage: p1 + p2 == G.zero()
True
sage: p1.order()
5

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> G = J.group()
>>> G.order()
30
>>> pl1 = C([Integer(1),Integer(8),Integer(1)]).place()
>>> pl2 = C([Integer(2),Integer(10),Integer(1)]).place()
>>> p1 = G.point(pl1 - pl2)
>>> p1
[Place (y + 1, z + 6)]
>>> p2 = G.point(pl2 - pl1)
>>> p2
[Place (y + 28, z + 6)]
>>> p1 + p2 == G.zero()
True
>>> p1.order()
5

We can get the corresponding point in the Jacobian in a different model.
