The terminal weighted-depth branch of the marked short equation #
This file continues the pointwise calculation on the selected short marked model. From
x ∈ 𝔪², a₄ ∈ 𝔪³, and a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁵, the equation first forces y ∈ 𝔪³. If a₄ has exact
depth three, the marked double has canonical nonsingular reduction. Excluding that branch
forces the weighted depths a₄ ∈ 𝔪⁴ and a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁶, to which the checked pure-scaling
minimality obstruction applies.
Only the selected equation, its marked point, and minimality are used. No Kodaira symbol, regular model, component group, or component-cardinality claim is made.
On the selected marked short equation, the weighted coefficient depths
x ∈ 𝔪², a₄ ∈ 𝔪³, and a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁵ force the marked ordinate into 𝔪³.
Once a₄ reaches weighted depth four on the same marked short equation,
the equation upgrades a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁵ to a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁶.
If a₄ has exact depth three after the marked equation has reached
x ∈ 𝔪² and a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁵, the double of the marked point has canonical
nonsingular reduction.
The exact-depth-three a₄ branch supplies the exponent twelve required
by the arithmetic specializations.
A short integral model with weighted depths a₄ ∈ 𝔪⁴ and
a₆ ∈ 𝔪⁶ cannot have minimal generic fibre. Scaling by the displayed
uniformizer would keep every coefficient integral while increasing the
discriminant valuation.
