The zero fibre of a rational function #
This file identifies the local order of a rational function with ramification in the zero fibre of its associated projective-line morphism.
On the inverse image of the standard affine chart of ℙ¹, the pullback of X₀ / X₁
represents the rational function used to define the map.
At a point mapping into the standard affine chart, the standard coordinate pulled back to the source stalk maps to the original rational function in the function field.
On the standard affine chart, the scheme-theoretic order of the rational function is the finite order of the pulled-back affine coordinate in the source DVR.
The generic point of a smooth relative curve maps into the affine chart D₊(X₀) containing
infinity. The inverse coordinate there is the inverse of the nonzero function-field element.
On the inverse image of the chart at infinity, the pullback of X₁ / X₀ represents the
inverse of the rational function used to define the map.
At a point mapping into the affine chart at infinity, the inverse coordinate pulled back to the source stalk maps to the inverse rational function in the function field.
On the chart at infinity, the finite order of the pulled-back inverse coordinate is the negative of the scheme-theoretic order of the original rational function.
A point above zero of a non-global rational function is a codimension-one point of the source curve.

The canonical codimension-one point above zero has the original fibre point as its underlying scheme point.
Above the zero point of the rational-function morphism, the affine ramification index is the scheme-theoretic order of the rational function.
The order/residue-degree sum above zero is the finite-flat degree of the rational-function morphism.
