Division polynomials and canonical local heights on hyperelliptic Jacobians

Abstract: We generalize the division polynomials of elliptic curves to hyperelliptic Jacobians over the complex numbers. We construct them by using the hyperelliptic sigma function. Using the division polynomial, we describe a condition that a point on the Jacobian is a torsion point. We prove several properties of the division polynomials such as a determinantal expression and recurrence formulas. We also study relations among the sigma function, the division polynomials, and the canonical local height functions.

“…Apart from the powers of C, the latter is the same as Kanayama's phi-function introduced in [22] in genus 2, and considered for hyperelliptic curves of arbitrary genus in [30]. The sequence (φ n ) is a natural companion to (τ n ): it satisfies the same Somos-6 recurrence (1.1) and produces the same values of the first integrals K 1 , K 2 .…”

“…The explicit realisation of addition law should also have applications to the theory of heights on hyperelliptic Jacobians. In [10] ℘ functions are used to produce formulas for division polynomials on hyperelliptic curves of low genera which was later applied in [5] to compute canonical heights on genus 2 curves. Though the question of division polynomials isn't treated explicitly in the present paper it is strongly related to the reduction algorithm we propose as it is essentially equivalent to reduced divisors of the form nP on the curve.…”

“…Though high genera are considered as nonsecure and have a limited application in cryptology, they are still interesting. One application of such algorithms can be finding conditions on torsion points that exist in Jacobians similar to the mentioned in [22] and [23,24]. Those conditions were used in [25] to give new algorithms to compute Falting's invariants for hyperelliptic curves.…”
