Projective plane conics over a rational function field¶
The class ProjectiveConic_rational_function_field represents a
projective plane conic over a rational function field \(F(t)\), where \(F\)
is any field. Instances can be created using Conic().
AUTHORS:
Lennart Ackermans (2016-02-07): initial version
EXAMPLES:
Create a conic:
sage: K = FractionField(PolynomialRing(QQ, 't'))
sage: P.<X, Y, Z> = K[]
sage: Conic(X^2 + Y^2 - Z^2)
Projective Conic Curve over Fraction Field of Univariate
Polynomial Ring in t over Rational Field defined by
X^2 + Y^2 - Z^2
Points can be found using has_rational_point():
sage: K.<t> = FractionField(QQ['t'])
sage: C = Conic([1,-t,t])
sage: C.has_rational_point(point = True)
(True, (0 : 1 : 1))

Bases:
sage.schemes.plane_conics.con_field.ProjectiveConic_fieldCreate a projective plane conic curve over a rational function field \(F(t)\), where \(F\) is any field.
The algorithms used in this class come mostly from [HC2006].

- find_point(supports, roots, case, solution=0)¶
Given a solubility certificate like in [HC2006], find a point on
self. Assumesselfis in reduced form (see [HC2006] for a definition).If you don’t have a solubility certificate and just want to find a point, use the function
has_rational_point()instead.INPUT:
self– conic in reduced form.supports– 3-tuple wheresupports[i]is a list of all monic irreducible \(p \in F[t]\) that divide the \(i\)’th of the 3 coefficients.roots– 3-tuple containing lists of roots of all elements ofsupports[i], in the same order.case– 1 or 0, as in [HC2006].solution– (default: 0) a solution of (5) in [HC2006], if case = 0, 0 otherwise.
OUTPUT:
A point \((x,y,z) \in F(t)\) of
self. Output is undefined when the input solubility certificate is incorrect.ALGORITHM:
The algorithm used is the algorithm FindPoint in [HC2006], with a simplification from [Ack2016].
EXAMPLES:
sage: K.<t> = FractionField(QQ['t']) sage: C = Conic(K, [t^2-2, 2*t^3, -2*t^3-13*t^2-2*t+18]) sage: C.has_rational_point(point=True) # indirect test (True, (-3 : (t + 1)/t : 1))
Different solubility certificates give different points:
sage: K.<t> = PolynomialRing(QQ, 't') sage: C = Conic(K, [t^2-2, 2*t, -2*t^3-13*t^2-2*t+18]) sage: supp = [[t^2 - 2], [t], [t^3 + 13/2*t^2 + t - 9]] sage: tbar1 = QQ.extension(supp[0][0], 'tbar').gens()[0] sage: tbar2 = QQ.extension(supp[1][0], 'tbar').gens()[0] sage: tbar3 = QQ.extension(supp[2][0], 'tbar').gens()[0] sage: roots = [[tbar1 + 1], [1/3*tbar2^0], [2/3*tbar3^2 + 11/3*tbar3 - 3]] sage: C.find_point(supp, roots, 1) (3 : t + 1 : 1) sage: roots = [[-tbar1 - 1], [-1/3*tbar2^0], [-2/3*tbar3^2 - 11/3*tbar3 + 3]] sage: C.find_point(supp, roots, 1) (3 : -t - 1 : 1)
- has_rational_point(point=False, algorithm='default', read_cache=True)¶
Returns True if and only if the conic
selfhas a point over its base field \(F(t)\), which is a field of rational functions.If
pointis True, then returns a second output, which is a rational point if one exists.Points are cached whenever they are found. Cached information is used if and only if
read_cacheis True.The default algorithm does not (yet) work for all base fields \(F\). In particular, sage is required to have:
an algorithm for finding the square root of elements in finite extensions of \(F\);
a factorization and gcd algorithm for \(F[t]\);
an algorithm for solving conics over \(F\).
ALGORITHM:
The parameter
algorithmspecifies the algorithm to be used:'default'– use a native Sage implementation, based on the algorithm Conic in [HC2006].'magma'(requires Magma to be installed) – delegates the task to the Magma computer algebra system.
EXAMPLES:
We can find points for function fields over (extensions of) \(\QQ\) and finite fields:
sage: K.<t> = FractionField(PolynomialRing(QQ, 't')) sage: C = Conic(K, [t^2-2, 2*t^3, -2*t^3-13*t^2-2*t+18]) sage: C.has_rational_point(point=True) (True, (-3 : (t + 1)/t : 1)) sage: R.<t> = FiniteField(23)[] sage: C = Conic([2, t^2+1, t^2+5]) sage: C.has_rational_point() True sage: C.has_rational_point(point=True) (True, (5*t : 8 : 1)) sage: F.<i> = QuadraticField(-1) sage: R.<t> = F[] sage: C = Conic([1,i*t,-t^2+4]) sage: C.has_rational_point(point = True) (True, (-t - 2*i : -2*i : 1))
It works on non-diagonal conics as well:
sage: K.<t> = QQ[] sage: C = Conic([4, -4, 8, 1, -4, t + 4]) sage: C.has_rational_point(point=True) (True, (1/2 : 1 : 0))
If no point exists output still depends on the argument
point:sage: K.<t> = QQ[] sage: C = Conic(K, [t^2, (t-1), -2*(t-1)]) sage: C.has_rational_point() False sage: C.has_rational_point(point=True) (False, None)
Due to limitations in Sage of algorithms we depend on, it is not yet possible to find points on conics over multivariate function fields (see the requirements above):
sage: F.<t1> = FractionField(QQ['t1']) sage: K.<t2> = FractionField(F['t2']) sage: a = K(1) sage: b = 2*t2^2+2*t1*t2-t1^2 sage: c = -3*t2^4-4*t1*t2^3+8*t1^2*t2^2+16*t1^3-t2-48*t1^4 sage: C = Conic([a,b,c]) sage: C.has_rational_point() Traceback (most recent call last): ... NotImplementedError: is_square() not implemented for elements of Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in tbar over Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in t1 over Rational Field with modulus tbar^2 + t1*tbar - 1/2*t1^2
In some cases, the algorithm requires us to be able to solve conics over \(F\). In particular, the following does not work:
sage: P.<u> = QQ[] sage: E = P.fraction_field() sage: Q.<Y> = E[] sage: F.<v> = E.extension(Y^2 - u^3 - 1) sage: R.<t> = F[] sage: K = R.fraction_field() sage: C = Conic(K, [u, v, 1]) sage: C.has_rational_point() Traceback (most recent call last): ... NotImplementedError: has_rational_point not implemented for conics over base field Univariate Quotient Polynomial Ring in v over Fraction Field of Univariate Polynomial Ring in u over Rational Field with modulus v^2 - u^3 - 1
