Minimal-model scaling inputs for the tame Tate algorithm #
Mathlib's minimal-model API states minimality as maximality of the multiplicative discriminant valuation among integral admissible changes. This file extracts the forms used at the start of a Tate-algorithm argument:
- integral
jgivesv(c₄)³ ≤ v(Δ); and - integral changes whose scale factor has valuation one preserve minimality; and
- no translations followed by a scale of valuation below one can keep all five transformed coefficients integral on a minimal equation.
These are valuation and minimality inputs only. They do not construct a Néron model, determine a Kodaira symbol, identify the canonical nonsingular-reduction subgroup with the Néron identity component, or bound the order of a marked component class.
Integral j is the valuation inequality v(c₄)³ ≤ v(Δ). This is the
potentially-good valuation input to the tame Kodaira classification.
Minimality forbids an integral admissible change whose discriminant has strictly larger
multiplicative valuation. This unfolds Mathlib's MaximalFor definition and removes the bounded
subtype used internally by valuation_Δ_aux.
An integral admissible change whose scale factor has valuation one preserves minimality. In particular, integral translations used to move a singular point to the origin stay within the chosen minimal class.
On a minimal elliptic equation, an admissible change whose scale factor has valuation below one cannot be integral, regardless of its translation parameters. The discriminant multiplier depends only on the scale factor, so such a change would strictly improve the multiplicative discriminant valuation.
A pure change of scale by u with v(u) < 1 cannot remain integral on a minimal elliptic
equation. Its discriminant is multiplied by u⁻¹², which would strictly improve the
multiplicative discriminant valuation.
All five coefficients have integral lifts after translating by r, s, and t, then
applying the weighted scale by u⁻¹. These are exactly the five coefficient formulas for the
admissible change ⟨u, r, s, t⟩.

Tate translation-and-scaling input. On a minimal equation, arbitrary translations cannot make all five transformed coefficients integral after a scale factor of valuation below one. This is the simultaneous divisibility obstruction used before the blowup and Kodaira case split.
All five coefficients have integral lifts after the weighted pure scale by u⁻¹.

Instances For
Named Tate-algorithm consumer. On a minimal equation, at least one weighted coefficient fails to remain integral after scaling down by an element of positive additive valuation. This is the precise coefficient obstruction used to prevent another global scaling step in Tate's algorithm. Further translations, blowups, and component bookkeeping are still required to deduce a Kodaira symbol or a component-order bound.
