Rank-two support certificates for a plane curve #
A diagonal stabilizer of a torus curve is controlled by the lattice generated
by differences of exponent vectors in its equation. This file introduces the
two-dimensional determinant used for that lattice and proves the sharp box
bound |det| ≤ 2 * degreeOf 0 f * degreeOf 1 f.
The bound is characteristic-free. In the high-characteristic range used by the Corvaja--Zannier endpoint, every nonzero such determinant is automatically nonzero modulo the characteristic.

Equations
Instances For
A polynomial has rank-two support when three of its monomials have linearly independent exponent differences.

Instances For
Every support-lattice determinant is bounded by twice the area of the coordinate-degree box. This is the sharp uniform determinant estimate needed for the diagonal-stabilizer route to the powered-image index bound.
Natural-number form of the support determinant bound.
A rank-two support certificate supplies a positive lattice index bounded by the public Euler budget.
