Embeddings from independent cyclic generators #
This file packages a small group-theoretic construction used after an
explicit two-isogeny. A point P of exact order two and a point Q of
exact order n generate an embedded ZMod 2 × ZMod n as soon as P
does not lie in the cyclic subgroup generated by Q.
The homomorphism from ZMod n which sends 1 to P.
Equations
Instances For
Exact order makes the cyclic-generator homomorphism injective.
The sum of the two cyclic-generator maps.
Equations
Instances For
The product map is injective when the order-two generator is not in the cyclic subgroup generated by the other generator.
Existence form suited to a ForbidsEmbedding contradiction.
In a cyclic group of exact order 2n, the sole nonzero point killed
by two is the n-multiple of a generator. Consequently, any other point
of exact order two is outside that cyclic subgroup.
