Canonical nonsingular reduction under integral changes of variables #
An admissible change of variables over the completed valuation ring identifies both the formal kernel and the nonsingular locus of the special fibre. Consequently it transports the canonical nonsingular-reduction predicate and subgroup on the generic fibres.
The proof treats the formal-kernel gate separately from affine reduction. At a pole, adding an
integral translation does not change the valuation of the x-coordinate. Away from the formal
kernel, all coordinates are integral; reducing the integral coordinate formula then turns the
claim into variableChange_nonsingular on the special fibre.
An integral admissible change of variables transports the canonical nonsingular-reduction predicate. The displayed generic-fibre equality records that the integral transformed equation is the model used to define reduction on the transformed point group.
The point-group equivalence from an integral change identifies the two canonical nonsingular-reduction subgroups.
A marked component multiple can be checked before or after an integral admissible change. This is the downstream form used when a normalized Tate equation is accompanied by the inverse image of a marked point on the original equation.
