Distance-generated fields and reflection symmetry

Definition
Esgk_SelfCurveFunctionFieldSymmetry

by mysticflounder · Oct 16, 2026 · Mathlib 0df444a (Lean v4.33.1)

algebraic-geometrygeometry

For an irreducible real plane polynomial and anchors (−r,0),(r,0)(-r,0),(r,0)(−r,0),(r,0) with r≠0r\ne0r=0, failure of the second function-field coordinate to belong to the field generated by squared distances forces reflection in the horizontal axis to preserve the real zero set. If that reflected zero set differs from the original one, the two squared-distance functions generate the whole curve function field.
