The projective plane P^2 over k, identified with the projectivization of k^3.
Instances For
A point p ∈ P^2 lies on the curve defined by a polynomial f if f vanishes on a (any)
representative of p.
Instances For
Translate of a polynomial g by a point p: the polynomial obtained by substituting
x_i ↦ x_i + p_i.
Instances For
Translation of polynomials by a fixed point is an injective operation, since translating by
-p is a left inverse.
Translating a nonzero polynomial yields a nonzero polynomial.
A nonzero polynomial has a nonzero homogeneous component of some degree.
Multiplicity of a hypersurface V(g) at a point p: the smallest degree at which the
translate g(x + p) has a nonzero homogeneous component.
Instances For
At the multiplicity, the corresponding homogeneous component of g(x + p) is nonzero.
Below the multiplicity, every homogeneous component of the translated polynomial vanishes.
The coordinate ring of the intersection scheme of two affine plane curves V(f) and V(g):
the quotient k[x, y] / (f, g).
Instances For
Multiplication-by-x_i operator on the curve quotient k[x, y]/(f, g), viewed as a
k-linear endomorphism.
Instances For
Intersection multiplicity of two affine plane curves at a point p: the dimension of the
joint generalized eigenspace of the multiplication-by-coordinate operators at the eigenvalue p.
Instances For
A plane projective curve in P^2: a nonzero homogeneous polynomial in three variables of a
given degree.

- deg : ℕ
- poly_homogeneous : self.poly.IsHomogeneous self.deg
Instances For
The vanishing locus of a plane curve C as a subset of P^2.
Instances For
Two plane curves have no common irreducible component iff their defining polynomials are coprime.
Instances For
The set of intersection points of two plane curves: the intersection of their vanishing loci
in P^2.
Instances For
Finiteness part of Bezout: two plane curves with no common component meet in a finite set of
points in P^2.
Multiplicity-sum part of Bezout: counted with multiplicities, the intersection points of two plane curves without common component sum to the product of their degrees.
Lecture 5, Theorem 5.2 (Bezout): for two plane projective curves over an algebraically closed field without common component, the intersection is a finite set whose multiplicities sum to the product of the degrees.
Projective form of Bezout (multiplicity-sum statement): the sum of local intersection multiplicities of two coprime homogeneous polynomials in three variables equals the product of their degrees.
A plane curve is a conic if its degree is 2.
Instances For
Defining linear form of the line through two points of P^2, given by the cross product of
their representatives.
Instances For
Data of a hexagon inscribed in a conic: the conic, six distinct vertices on it, indexed
cyclically by Fin 6.
- conic : PlaneCurve k
- vertices_distinct : Function.Injective self.vertex
Instances For
Cyclic successor on Fin 6, used to index the sides of an inscribed hexagon.
Instances For
Opposite vertex map on Fin 6 (shift by 3), used to pair opposite sides of an inscribed
hexagon.
Instances For
The i-th side of an inscribed hexagon: the line through the i-th and (i + 1)-th
vertices.
Instances For
Consequence of Bezout: if an irreducible conic q and a cubic f share more than 6
points, then q divides f.
If q is homogeneous of degree m and q * L is homogeneous of degree n ≥ m, then L
is itself homogeneous of degree n - m.
If a conic divides a cubic, then the cubic factors as the conic times a linear form, and the cubic vanishes at a point iff the conic or the line does.
Auxiliary construction underlying the proof of Pascal's theorem: from a hexagon inscribed in an irreducible conic, exhibit the three opposite-side intersection points, a cubic vanishing on the six vertices and the three intersection points, and an additional seventh conic point witnessing the divisibility argument.
Lecture 5, Theorem 5.3 (Pascal): given a hexagon inscribed in an irreducible conic, the three intersection points of opposite sides are collinear.
