Additivity of reduction to the nonsingular locus #

This file proves that the canonical nonsingular-reduction domain of an integral local Weierstrass equation is an additive subgroup and that coordinatewise reduction is a homomorphism on it. The proof adapts the exact-pinned good-reduction argument from EllipticCurves.WeierstrassFormalGroup.Reduction: wherever that argument used smoothness of the whole special cubic, we instead use the nonsingularity carried by HasNonsingularReduction.

The two substantive local steps are:

Together with the already checked slope calculation away from the reduced anti-diagonal, these give unconditional additivity on the canonical domain. No Neron model or good-reduction hypothesis is used.

Two affine points with integral abscissas add into the formal kernel when their secant slope has a pole of order at least one. The distinct-abscissa premise selects the ordinary secant formula; vertical and equal-point cases are intentionally left to the caller.

An affine point with integral abscissa whose tangent slope has a pole of order at least one doubles into the formal kernel. This valuation-only statement is useful for the marked-point branches of Tate's algorithm and does not assume that the source has nonsingular reduction.

Equal coordinatewise reductions in the nonsingular locus differ by the exact formal filtration. This is the singular-special-fibre version of the exact-pin congruence criterion; only nonsingularity of the displayed common reduction is used.
