Closed Frobenius reduction for affine plane curves #
This module conjugates first-coordinate deflation by the coordinate swap and thereby handles either inseparable coordinate. An absolutely irreducible plane equation over a finite field either has an absent coordinate, in which case its affine point count is exactly the field cardinality, or it admits a same-count equation with both coordinate partial derivatives nonzero and no larger supplied bidegree bounds.
Swap the two variables of a plane polynomial.
Equations
Instances For
The affine equivalence swapping the two plane coordinates at the zero fiber.
Equations
Instances For
Frobenius deflation in whichever coordinate is inseparable. The only alternative to a same-count separating equation is the exact univariate point count.
Any coefficient-8 affine Hasse bound proved for separating equations
extends to every absolutely irreducible plane equation. This theorem is the
composition boundary between Frobenius reduction and the zeta/spectral
argument.
