Birationally transforming general curve of genus 1 to Weierstrass form

372 Views Asked by At

What are general rules to birationally transform general curve of any degree of genus 1 to Weierstrass form, provided we have one rational point?

Example of curve of degree 12:

$$x^9 y^3+9 x^9 y^2+27 x^9 y+27 x^9+9 x^8 y^3+81 x^8 y^2+243 x^8 y+243 x^8+35 x^7 y^3+318 x^7 y^2+963 x^7 y+972 x^7+74 x^6 y^3+687 x^6 y^2+2124 x^6 y+2187 x^6+90 x^5 y^3+871 x^5 y^2+2799 x^5 y+2988 x^5+67 x^4 y^3+692 x^4 y^2+2358 x^4 y+2655 x^4+39 x^3 y^3+415 x^3 y^2+1466 x^3 y+1717 x^3+21 x^2 y^3+211 x^2 y^2+723 x^2 y+840 x^2+4 x y^3+47 x y^2+180 x y+228 x-3 y^3-20 y^2-40 y-20=0$$

This curve has (geometric) genus 1. It has rational point $(-3, -\frac{17}{5})$.

I am familiar with transforming $y^2=a x^4+b x^3+c x^2+d x+e$ to Weierstrass form but have never seen similar process for curves of higher degree than $4$.

In case someone would be interested in Maple's result obtained by user Jan-Magnus Økland, I rewrote it by hand and simplified a bit:
