Division polynomials in Mumford coordinates

Algebraic Geometry 2026-04-28 v2

Abstract

An effective method of computing division polynomials in terms of Mumford coordinates is presented. As an example, division polynomials for 33- and 44-torsion divisors on a genus two curve are obtained explicitly in terms of Mumford coordinates, and xx-, yy-coordinates of the support of torsion divisors. As a result, nn-torsion divisors on a given curve can be computed directly from the division polynomials. Alternatively, these divisors are obtained by solving the Jacobi inversion problem at points of the Jacobian variety of order nn.
