Scalar-multiplication morphisms of elliptic curves¶

This class provides an EllipticCurveHom instantiation for multiplication-by-\(m\) maps on elliptic curves.

EXAMPLES:

We can construct and evaluate scalar multiplications:

Sage

sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_scalar import EllipticCurveHom_scalar
sage: E = EllipticCurve('77a1')
sage: phi = E.scalar_multiplication(5); phi
Scalar-multiplication endomorphism [5] of Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 + 2*x over Rational Field
sage: P = E(2,3)
sage: phi(P)
(30 : 164 : 1)

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_scalar import EllipticCurveHom_scalar
>>> E = EllipticCurve('77a1')
>>> phi = E.scalar_multiplication(Integer(5)); phi
Scalar-multiplication endomorphism [5] of Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 + 2*x over Rational Field
>>> P = E(Integer(2),Integer(3))
>>> phi(P)
(30 : 164 : 1)

Sage Live

from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.hom_scalar import EllipticCurveHom_scalar
E = EllipticCurve('77a1')
phi = E.scalar_multiplication(5); phi
P = E(2,3)
phi(P)

The usual EllipticCurveHom methods are supported:

Contrary to constructing an EllipticCurveIsogeny from the division polynomial, EllipticCurveHom_scalar can deal with huge scalars very quickly:

Composition of scalar multiplications results in another scalar multiplication:

The zero endomorphism \([0]\) is supported:

scaling_factor()[source]¶

Return the Weierstrass scaling factor associated to this scalar multiplication.

The scaling factor is the constant \(u\) (in the base field) such that \(\varphi^* \omega_2 = u \omega_1\), where \(\varphi: E_1\to E_2\) is this morphism and \(\omega_i\) are the standard Weierstrass differentials on \(E_i\) defined by \(\mathrm dx/(2y+a_1x+a_3)\).

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
sage: phi = E.scalar_multiplication(5)
sage: u = phi.scaling_factor()
sage: u == phi.formal()[1]
True
sage: u == 5
True

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
>>> phi = E.scalar_multiplication(Integer(5))
>>> u = phi.scaling_factor()
>>> u == phi.formal()[Integer(1)]
True
>>> u == Integer(5)
True

Sage Live

E = EllipticCurve('11a1')
phi = E.scalar_multiplication(5)
u = phi.scaling_factor()
u == phi.formal()[1]
u == 5

The scaling factor lives in the base ring:

Sage

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(101^2), [5,5])
sage: phi = E.scalar_multiplication(123)
sage: phi.scaling_factor()
22
sage: phi.scaling_factor().parent()
Finite Field in z2 of size 101^2

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve(GF(Integer(101)**Integer(2)), [Integer(5),Integer(5)])
>>> phi = E.scalar_multiplication(Integer(123))
>>> phi.scaling_factor()
22
>>> phi.scaling_factor().parent()
Finite Field in z2 of size 101^2

Sage Live

E = EllipticCurve(GF(101^2), [5,5])
phi = E.scalar_multiplication(123)
phi.scaling_factor()
phi.scaling_factor().parent()

ALGORITHM: The scaling factor equals the scalar that is being multiplied by.

x_rational_map()[source]¶

Return the \(x\)-coordinate rational map of this scalar multiplication.

ALGORITHM: EllipticCurve_generic.multiplication_by_m()

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(65537), [1,2,3,4,5])
sage: phi = E.scalar_multiplication(7)
sage: phi.x_rational_map() == phi.rational_maps()[0]
True

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> E = EllipticCurve(GF(Integer(65537)), [Integer(1),Integer(2),Integer(3),Integer(4),Integer(5)])
>>> phi = E.scalar_multiplication(Integer(7))
>>> phi.x_rational_map() == phi.rational_maps()[Integer(0)]
True
