monsky_washnitzer_gens()¶

odd_degree_model()¶

Return an odd degree model of self, or raise ValueError if one does not exist over the field of definition.

EXAMPLES:

sage: x = QQ['x'].gen()
sage: H = HyperellipticCurve((x^2 + 2)*(x^2 + 3)*(x^2 + 5)); H
Hyperelliptic Curve over Rational Field defined by y^2 = x^6 + 10*x^4 + 31*x^2 + 30
sage: H.odd_degree_model()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: No odd degree model exists over field of definition

sage: K2 = QuadraticField(-2, 'a')
sage: Hp2 = H.change_ring(K2).odd_degree_model(); Hp2
Hyperelliptic Curve over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 + 2 with a = 1.414213562373095?*I defined by y^2 = 6*a*x^5 - 29*x^4 - 20*x^2 + 6*a*x + 1

sage: K3 = QuadraticField(-3, 'b')
sage: Hp3 = H.change_ring(QuadraticField(-3, 'b')).odd_degree_model(); Hp3
Hyperelliptic Curve over Number Field in b with defining polynomial x^2 + 3 with b = 1.732050807568878?*I defined by y^2 = -4*b*x^5 - 14*x^4 - 20*b*x^3 - 35*x^2 + 6*b*x + 1

Of course, Hp2 and Hp3 are isomorphic over the composite
extension.  One consequence of this is that odd degree models
reduced over "different" fields should have the same number of
points on their reductions.  43 and 67 split completely in the
compositum, so when we reduce we find:

sage: P2 = K2.factor(43)[0][0]
sage: P3 = K3.factor(43)[0][0]
sage: Hp2.change_ring(K2.residue_field(P2)).frobenius_polynomial()
x^4 - 16*x^3 + 134*x^2 - 688*x + 1849
sage: Hp3.change_ring(K3.residue_field(P3)).frobenius_polynomial()
x^4 - 16*x^3 + 134*x^2 - 688*x + 1849
sage: H.change_ring(GF(43)).odd_degree_model().frobenius_polynomial()
x^4 - 16*x^3 + 134*x^2 - 688*x + 1849

sage: P2 = K2.factor(67)[0][0]
sage: P3 = K3.factor(67)[0][0]
sage: Hp2.change_ring(K2.residue_field(P2)).frobenius_polynomial()
x^4 - 8*x^3 + 150*x^2 - 536*x + 4489
sage: Hp3.change_ring(K3.residue_field(P3)).frobenius_polynomial()
x^4 - 8*x^3 + 150*x^2 - 536*x + 4489
sage: H.change_ring(GF(67)).odd_degree_model().frobenius_polynomial()
x^4 - 8*x^3 + 150*x^2 - 536*x + 4489

rational_points(**kwds)¶

(0 : 1 : 0),

sage: C = HyperellipticCurve(R([0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1]), R([1, 1, 0, 1]));
sage: C.rational_points(bound=10)
[(-1 : 0 : 1),
(-1 : 1 : 1),
(0 : -1 : 1),
(0 : 0 : 1),
(0 : 1 : 0)]

An example over a number field:

sage: R.<x> = PolynomialRing(QuadraticField(2));
sage: C = HyperellipticCurve(R([1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1]));
sage: C.rational_points(bound=2)
[(-1 : 0 : 1),
