The field generated by distances to two anchors

Definition
Esgk_SelfCurveTwoAnchorFunctionField

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

algebraic-geometrygeometry

Over a field of characteristic zero, this defines the field generated by (x+r)2+y2(x+r)^2+y^2(x+r)2+y2 and (x−r)2+y2(x-r)^2+y^2(x−r)2+y2; for r≠0r\ne0r=0 it contains x,y2x,y^2x,y2, and adjoining yyy has degree at most two. If r≠0r\ne0r=0, x,yx,yx,y generate the ambient field and yyy is not already in the distance-generated field, there is a nonidentity involution fixing xxx and sending yyy to −y-y−y.
