Let $h\in\mathbb C[t]$ be a squarefree polynomial such that $W^2-h$ is irreducible in $\mathbb C(t)[W]$ . Let $K=\mathbb C(t)[W]/(W^2-h)$ be the function field of the double cover $w^2=h(t)$ , where $t$ and $w$ denote the classes of $t$ and $W$ , and let $A=\mathbb C[t][W]/(W^2-h)$ be its coordinate ring, viewed inside $K$ . For a point $(c,d)\in\mathbb C^2$ of the cover, $d^2=h(c)$ , let $\mathfrak m_{(c,d)}\subset A$ be the kernel of the evaluation $A\to\mathbb C$ , $t\mapsto c$ , $w\mapsto d$ , and let $\mathcal O_{(c,d)}=A_{\mathfrak m_{(c,d)}}\subset K$ be the local ring at $(c,d)$ , the valuation ring of the point place $(c,d)$ of $K$ ; it is a discrete valuation ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak m_{(c,d)}\mathcal O_{(c,d)}$ . A uniformizer is an element of $\mathcal O_{(c,d)}$ generating this maximal ideal.

Let $(c,d)\in\mathbb C^2$ with $d^2=h(c)$ and $h(c)\ne0$ . Then the image of $t-c\in A$ in $\mathcal O_{(c,d)}$ generates the maximal ideal:

\mathfrak m_{(c,d)}\mathcal O_{(c,d)}=(t-c)\,\mathcal O_{(c,d)}.

This gives a uniformizer at the unramified point places, those not lying over a root of $h$ . It is used for the regularity criterion of differentials $f\,dt$ at such places, which the formalization applies to $h_\alpha(t)=-t(t^m+1)(\alpha t^m+\overline\alpha)$ ; in this way it enters the formal proof of the genus clause of Lemma 4 of the note (the normalization of $V_\alpha$ has genus $m$ ) and, through the case $m=2$ , of Remark 5.

Formalization Note: the hypotheses that $h$ is squarefree and that $W^2-h$ is irreducible are Fact instances, and $d^2=h(c)$ is an explicit hypothesis. $\mathcal O_{(c,d)}$ is a subalgebra of $K$ : the localization of $A$ at the kernel of the evaluation map.
