Rational maps attached to rational functions #
For an integral scheme X over a field K, a nonzero rational function gives the function-field
point [g : 1] of the projective line. This file proves that the point respects the base-field
maps and spreads it out to a rational map X ⤏ ℙ¹_K.
The construction is the rational-map input to the geometric proof of the product formula in
TauCetiRoadmap/JacobianChallenge/README.md, Layer A, "Divisors on a curve". The subsequent
extension across a regular curve and the comparison of the zero and infinity fibres remain
separate mathematical steps.
On spectra, the base-field map to the function field is the structure morphism restricted to the generic point.
The function-field point [g : 1] of ℙ¹_K is compatible with the structure morphism of
X at its generic point.
The rational map over K associated to a nonzero rational function, bundled together with
its equality over Spec K.

Instances For
The rational-function map is a rational map over K.
Restricting the rational-function map back to the function field recovers [g : 1].
