Variable changes #
An admissible linear change of variables of Weierstrass curves defined over a ring R
given by
a tuple (u, r, s, t)
for some u
in Rˣ
and some r, s, t
in R
. As a matrix, it is
$$\begin{pmatrix} u^2 & 0 & r \cr u^2s & u^3 & t \cr 0 & 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix}.$$
In other words, this is the change of variables (X, Y) ↦ (u²X + r, u³Y + u²sX + t)
.
When R
is a field, any two isomorphic Weierstrass equations are related by this.
- u : Rˣ
The
u
coefficient of an admissible linear change of variables, which must be a unit. - r : R
The
r
coefficient of an admissible linear change of variables. - s : R
The
s
coefficient of an admissible linear change of variables. - t : R
The
t
coefficient of an admissible linear change of variables.
