Explicit quotient coordinates on the Fermat cubic #
Given an affine point (x,y) of x³ + y³ = 1 with x, y ≠ 0 and any cube
root W of w = (x+1)/(x+y), the point (W,T) with T = r/W,
r = (1+x+y)/(x+y), lies on the cubic and has Hessian addition coordinates
exactly (x,y).
This is the algebraic content of "(x,y) is the image of (W,T) under
Q ↦ Q + πQ", proved directly from the defining equation: no group law,
Frobenius endomorphism, or algebraic closure is involved. Note the direction —
w and z are produced in K first, and W, T are only cube roots
chosen afterwards.
Explicit quotient-coordinate lemma.
Let K have characteristic two and let (x,y) be a non-3-torsion
affine point of the Fermat cubic
x^3 + y^3 = 1
with x,y ≠ 0.
Suppose W is any cube root of w = (x+1)/(x+y), and let T = quotientT x y W
be the lift ((1+x+y)/(x+y))/W. Then
T^3 = (y+1)/(x+y),hence
W^3+T^3=1,the Hessian denominator for
(W,T)and(W^2,T^2)is nonzero,and the Hessian addition coordinates are exactly
(x,y):hessX(W,T,W²,T²) / hessD(W,T,W²,T²) = x, hessY(W,T,W²,T²) / hessD(W,T,W²,T²) = y.
This is the explicit algebraic statement that (x,y) is the image of
(W,T) under the quotient map represented by Q ↦ Q + Frobenius(Q),
established from the formulas above alone, with no elliptic-curve group law.
