Over Silverman’s differential forms on curves












2














I’m reading Silverman’s Arithmetic of Ellipctic curves. In II.4 he gives an definition of differential form as the set of $dx$ for $x$ in $overline{K}(C)$. Taking the complex circle $x^2+y^2=1$ in $mathbb{P}^2$. By 4.2(a), $xdy$ is a differential form. By definition there exists $tinoverline{K}(C)$ such that $dt=xdy$.



If we integrate $sqrt{1-y^2}dy$, it yields an $arcsin$, which suggests that such a function $t$ wouldn’t be algebraic...



What I’m I missing here? What is the function $t$ such that $dt=xdy$?

    @LordSharktheUnknown I think they mean the definition in the first sentence: Silverman defines differential forms to be things of the form $dt$ where $tinoverline{K}(C)$. So if $xdy$ is a differential form then it should have this form

    Silverman says the $overline{K}$-vector space generated by the symbols $dx, x in overline{K}(C)$. He meant the $overline{K}(C)$-vector space ? ($dx$ is an exact meromorphic differential form for $x in overline{K}(C)$ and $x_2 dx$ is a (closed) meromorphic differential form for $x,x_2 in overline{K}(C)$) @LordSharktheUnknown

    I agree with reuns: I think it's a typo and it should be the $overline{K}(C)$-vector space generated by $dx$ for $x in overline{K}(C)$. Indeed, without an action of $overline{K}(C)$, how can one even define $x dy$? Or state the Leibniz rule: $d(xy) = x dy + y dx$?

    Agree with reuns and André. The space of differential forms is a 1-dimensional space over $overline{K}(C)$. Observe that differentiating both sides of $x^2+y^2=1$ yields $x,dx+y,dy=0$. In other words, $$dy=-frac xy,dx.$$ All in line with $dx$ and $dy$ being linearly dependent over $K(C)$.
