A group law on smooth real quartics having at least 3 real branches

Johan Huisman (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let C be a smooth real quartic curve in 2 . Suppose that C has at least 3 real branches B 1 , B 2 , B 3 . Let B = B 1 × B 2 × B 3 and let O B . Let τ O be the map from B into the neutral component Jac ( C ) ( ) 0 of the set of real points of the jacobian of C , defined by letting τ O ( P ) be the divisor class of the divisor P i - O i . Then, τ O is a bijection. We show that this allows an explicit geometric description of the group law on Jac ( C ) ( ) 0 . It generalizes the classical geometric description of the group law on the neutral component of the set of real points of...
