In an elliptic curve E given by $y^2=x^3 + ax^2 +bx+ c$ and origin at the point of infinity, why does the map $i$ sending $(x, y)$ to $(x, -y)$ send $i(P)=-P$, where $-P$ denotes the inverse of $P$ under the the group operation on $E$?



One way is to use the explicit formula in terms of x,y for the inverse, I suppose.



But in the book I’m reading (Hida’s Geometric Modular Forms) the group structure on $E$ is not defined via the usual secant line process,but via the isomorphism $E$ with $Pic^0$ sending $P$ to $I(P)^-1 otimes I(O)$ where $I(P)$ is the ideal sheaf of the point $P$ and $O$ is the origin. Somehow it seems, from the highlighted part in the excerpt below, we need to use something about how the group operation interacts with the a non-vanishing 1-form - we’ve seen earlier that all such are invariant under pullback via addition/translation by given point of $E$

          What is the equation of a 3D cone with generalised tilt?

          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite What is the equation of a 3D cone with generalized tilt? I've noticed that in most equations given to represent a cone, there is no parameter which defines the tilt of the cone in 3D space and that most of them have their point at the origin $(0,0,0)$ - I was wondering if anyone could give me a more generalized cone equation for a cone in any position in 3D space 3d share | cite | improve this question edited Jul 25 '16 at 0:05 ervx 9,425 3 13 36 asked Jul 24 '16 at 15:38 Charlene 11 2 2 Welcome to Math.SE! Could you please explain a few things to help people give an answer useful to you: 1. What do you mean by "generalized tilt"? 2. Are you asking about a right circular cone? Does the angle at the vertex matter? 3. What form of answer (implicit, parametric...?) are you looking for? 4. If this is homework, what tools do you have available, an...

          Relationship between determinant of matrix and determinant of adjoint?

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite We are studying adjoints in class, and I was curious if there is a relationship between the determinant of matrix A, and the determinant of the adjoint of matrix A? I assume there would be a relationship because finding the adjoint requires creating a cofactor matrix and then transposing it. linear-algebra determinant adjoint-operators share | cite | improve this question asked Nov 17 '17 at 17:32 CluelessCoder 32 5 For a square matrix $A$ of order $n$, we have $A(operatornameadj A)=(operatornameadj A)A=|A|I_n$ where $I_n$ is the identity matrix of order $n$. This should tell you about the determinant of the adjoint in terms of that of $A$ (use multiplicative property and other elementary properties of determinants). – Prasun Biswas Nov 17 '17 at 17:35 1 @CluelessCoder: see here: math.stackexchange.com/questions/516127/…...

          Color the edges and diagonals of a regular polygon

          Image
          Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 5 down vote favorite 1 Here is the problem: For what $n$ is it possible to color the edges and diagonals of an $n$-side regular polygon with $dfracbinomn23$ colors, such that you use every color exactly three times and for every color the three segments (edges or diagonals) with that color form a triangle? Trivially $nequiv 0 text or 1 pmod3$. I can also prove that if the statement is true for $k$ than it is true for $3k$ as well. How to finish? Please help!

Aren't the side of a regular polygon the same as the edges? A regular $n$-sided polygon has $n$ edges. – hardmath Aug 6 at 21:20 3 $n$ ne...
