The unique place at infinity of a Weierstrass function field #
For the Weierstrass equation, put t = x⁻¹ and z = y t². The transformed equation is
monic in z, so z belongs to the integral closure of the valuation ring at infinity. Modulo
any prime above infinity it first gives z = 0, and then t ∈ P². Thus every such prime has
ramification index two. The fundamental ramification–inertia identity for the quadratic
extension then proves that the prime is unique and has inertia degree one.
The canonical constant-field algebra structure used locally in the infinity chart.
