The point-group quotient attached to a rational cyclic subgroup #

A cyclic subgroup C of order N is killed by multiplication by N. Consequently multiplication by N on the ambient rational point group descends through the quotient by C. If

π : A → A ⧸ C,

the descended map π dual : A ⧸ C → A satisfies

dual ∘ π = [N] and π ∘ dual = [N].

These are the point-group identities expected from an isogeny and its dual. They are useful compatibility conditions for the future elliptic quotient in the X₀(N) moduli construction. This file does not claim that the abstract quotient group is represented by an elliptic curve or construct a quotient group scheme.

      The kernel of the point-group quotient projection is exactly the supplied cyclic subgroup.

      Every element of a cyclic subgroup of cardinality N is killed by multiplication by N.

      Multiplication by N descended through the quotient by C.

      For an elliptic quotient this is the rational-point map expected from the dual isogeny.

        The descended dual after the quotient projection is multiplication by N on the ambient point group.

        The quotient projection after the descended dual is multiplication by N on the quotient point group.

        The kernel of the descended dual is the image in A/C of the full N-torsion kernel in A.

        Modulo the intrinsic subgroup of order d, a generator of a cyclic subgroup of order N has exact order N / d.

        The upper bound follows because (N / d) • C.generator generates the divisor subgroup. For the reverse divisibility, the descended dual map sends the quotient class to d • C.generator, which already has order N / d.

          Transport of the quotient sends the class of x to the class of e x.

          The descended dual multiplication map is natural under transport of the ambient point group.

                A real RationalDatum consumer of the quotient/dual API: composing the two point maps in the ambient direction is multiplication by the level.

                In the quotient direction the same two maps also compose to multiplication by the level.
