D.5.1.9 paraConic

Procedure from library paraplanecurves.lib (see paraplanecurves_lib).

Usage:
paraConic(q); q poly

Assume:
The basering must be a polynomial ring in three variables with coefficients in Q.
The polynomial q must be homogeneous of degree 2 and absolutely irreducible.

Note:
The procedure might fail or give a wrong output if the assumptions do not hold.

Return:
ring with an ideal PARACONIC. The ring should be considered as the homogeneous coordinate ring of PP^1, the ideal defines a rational parametrization PP^1 --> C2 = {q=0}.

Theory:
We compute a point on C2 via rationalPointConic. The pencil of lines through this point projects C2 birationally to PP^1. Inverting the projection gives the result.

Example:
 
LIB "paraplanecurves.lib";
ring R = 0,(x,y,z),dp;
poly f = y^8-x^3*(z+x)^5;
ideal adj = adjointIdeal(f);
def Rn = invertBirMap(adj,ideal(f));
==> // 'invertBirMap' created a ring together with two ideals J and psi.
==> // Supposing you typed, say,  def RPn = invertBirMap(phi,I);
==> // you may access the ideals by typing
==> //      setring RPn; J; psi;
setring(Rn);
J;
==> J[1]=y(5)*y(6)-y(4)*y(7)
==> J[2]=y(4)*y(6)-y(3)*y(7)
==> J[3]=y(2)*y(6)-y(1)*y(7)
==> J[4]=y(4)*y(5)-y(2)*y(7)
==> J[5]=y(3)*y(5)-y(1)*y(7)
==> J[6]=y(1)*y(5)-y(7)^2
==> J[7]=y(4)^2-y(1)*y(7)
==> J[8]=y(3)*y(4)-y(1)*y(6)
==> J[9]=y(2)*y(4)-y(7)^2
==> J[10]=y(1)*y(4)-y(6)*y(7)
==> J[11]=y(2)*y(3)-y(6)*y(7)
==> J[12]=y(1)*y(3)-y(6)^2
==> J[13]=y(2)^2-y(5)*y(7)
==> J[14]=y(1)*y(2)-y(4)*y(7)
==> J[15]=y(1)^2-y(3)*y(7)
==> J[16]=y(1)*y(6)^2-y(3)^2*y(7)
==> J[17]=y(6)^4-y(3)^3*y(7)
def Rc = rncItProjEven(J);
PHI;
==> PHI[1]=-y(7)
==> PHI[2]=-y(2)
==> PHI[3]=-y(5)
setring Rc;
CONIC;
==> y(2)^2-y(1)*y(3)
def RPc = paraConic(CONIC);
==> // 'paraConic' created a ring together with an ideal RNC.
==> // Supposing you typed, say,  def RP1 = paraConic(q);
==> // you may access the ideal by typing
==> //      setring RP1; PARACONIC;
setring RPc;
PARACONIC;
==> PARACONIC[1]=s2
==> PARACONIC[2]=st
==> PARACONIC[3]=t2
