class sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism(E=None, urst=None, F=None)[source]

Bases: EllipticCurveHom, baseWI

Class representing a Weierstrass isomorphism between two elliptic curves.

INPUT:

  • E – an EllipticCurve, or None (see below)

  • urst – a 4-tuple \((u,r,s,t)\), a baseWI object, or None (see below)

  • F – an EllipticCurve, or None (see below)

Given two Elliptic Curves E and F (represented by Weierstrass models as usual), and a transformation urst from E to F, construct an isomorphism from E to F. An exception is raised if urst(E) != F. At most one of E, F, urst can be None. In this case, the missing input is constructed from the others in such a way that urst(E) == F holds, and an exception is raised if this is impossible (typically because E and F are not isomorphic).

Users will not usually need to use this class directly, but instead use methods such as isomorphism_to() or isomorphisms().

Explicitly, the isomorphism defined by \((u,r,s,t)\) maps a point \((x,y)\) to the point

\[((x-r) / u^2, \; (y - s(x-r) - t) / u^3) .\]

If the domain \(E\) has Weierstrass coefficients \([a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_6]\), the codomain \(F\) is given by

\[\begin{split}a_1' &= (a_1 + 2s) / u \\ a_2' &= (a_2 - a_1s + 3r - s^2) / u^2 \\ a_3' &= (a_3 + a_1r + 2t) / u^3 \\ a_4' &= (a_4 + 2a_2r - a_1(rs+t) - a_3s + 3r^2 - 2st) / u^4 \\ a_6' &= (a_6 - a_1rt + a_2r^2 - a_3t + a_4r + r^3 - t^2) / u^6 .\end{split}\]

Return the Weierstrass scaling factor associated to this Weierstrass isomorphism.
