It has the associated cubic homogeneous polynomial equation: y 2 z = x 3 − x z 2 , {\displaystyle y^{2}z=x^{3}-xz^{2},} ... |
{\displaystyle \operatorname {Jac} (C)} is a projective variety. The tangent space to Jac ( C ) {\displaystyle \operatorname {Jac} (C)} at the identity element is naturally isomorphic to H 1 ( C , O C ) ; {\displaystyle \operatorname {H} ^{1}(C,{\mathcal {O}}_{C});} hence, the dimension of Jac ( C ) {\displaystyl... |
