Cayley coordinates on the nonsplit norm-one torus #
This file gives the rational coordinate needed to descend the nonsplit end-game cover from the
quadratic finite field to ZMod p. A point delta outside the base field identifies the affine
line with the norm-one torus minus its identity by
z |-> (z - delta ^ p) / (z - delta).
The inverse is (w * delta - delta ^ p) / (w - 1). The proof records the Frobenius identities
explicitly; these are the identities used when the pulled-back trace equation is cleared of
denominators over the base field.
Finiteness of the quadratic extension field used in the nonsplit parametrization.

Instances For
Frobenius exchanges the two linear factors occurring in the Cayley coordinate.
Applying Frobenius again returns the other Cayley linear factor.
The product of the conjugate Cayley factors is Frobenius-fixed, hence is a base-field coefficient in the descended equation.
Clearing the Cayley denominator gives the symmetric numerator used for powers of a norm-one parameter.

The base-field trace of a powered Cayley point is the cleared symmetric Cayley fraction.
Solving the Cayley fraction for its base-field coordinate gives the expected inverse fraction.
