Okay, Here's some code (in case anyone is interested, this was related
to a problem that appeared on the math-fun mailing list):
def ECurve(n,k):
vars = ['a%d_%d'%(n,i) for i in range(k)]
v = R.gens()
F = FractionField(K)
S.<x> = F[]
f = (x^n-1)//(x-1)
g = x^k + sum([v[i]*x^i for i in range(k)])
c = (f%g).coefficients()
return R.ideal([z.numerator() for z in c[1:]).groebner_basis()
def Curve1(n,k)
I = ECurve(n,k)
if len(I) == 0:
return I
R = I[0].parent()
II = R.ideal(I)
J = II.elimination_ideal(R.gen()[:-2])
S.<b1,b2> = QQ[]
phi = R.hom((k-2)*[S(0)] + [b1,b2])
return Curve(phi(J.gens()[0]))
C = Curve1(9,3)
print C.genus()
