Validity of the affine Fermat-incidence chart #
This file formalises and verifies the affine Fermat-incidence chart. Throughout, K is a field of
characteristic two (algebraic closedness is nowhere needed), E is the Fermat cubic
X^3+Y^3=Z^3 with origin O=[1:1:0], realised through the Weierstrass model fer
(see FermatCubic.Curve), pi is the Frobenius x ↦ x^2 and t3 = (1,0).
hessD,hessX,hessYare the chart denominator and its two numerators;phiis the mapQ ↦ -(Q + pi^k Q) + t3;hessDenom_ne_zero: the Hessian denominator is nonzero;hessCoords_ne_zero: both affine coordinates are nonzero;exists_twisted_root_equationproduces the twisted root equation.
The Frobenius-twist hypothesis is stated as pi^n Q = Q + C with C = ptInf c a point at infinity;
the three points at infinity are the three points of K0 = ker (1+pi), cf. neg_ptInf.
The algebra of the Hessian numerators #
The 3-torsion point t3 = (1,0).

t3 = (1,0) is 3-torsion.
The chart computation behind the twisted root equation: if (x/d, y/d) is an affine Fermat
point with all of x, y, d nonzero, then -(x/d, y/d) + t3 = (x/y, d/y).
With a vanishing Hessian denominator the two numerators vanish together, so if they do not both vanish then neither does.
With a vanishing Hessian denominator, A = T says that the second point is the
negative of the first.
Two points with a vanishing Hessian denominator that are not negatives of one another have distinct coordinate sums, so the secant denominator does not vanish.
If the Hessian denominator of two affine Fermat points vanishes while the
numerators do not both vanish, then their sum lies in E[3]: it is a point at
infinity [N_x : N_y : 0].
The Hessian denominator and both numerators cannot vanish together: under the
Frobenius-twist relation with gcd (k, n) = 1, that would force W or T to be
zero.
For an affine Fermat point with both coordinates nonzero, gcd (k, n) = 1,
the Frobenius-twist relation hB3, and Phi_k(Q) not 3-torsion, the Hessian
denominator D0 is nonzero.
Under the Frobenius-twist relation, phi k Q is the affine point (p, q) with
p = N_x/N_y and q = D0/N_y, both nonzero, and the twisted root equation
W^(2^k+1) + p*T^(2^k+1) = q holds.
