from wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twists_o... elliptic curve cardinality and elliptic curve'quadratic_twist cardinality

I try some short_weierstrass_model is isomorphic ,but long Weierstrass model is not isomorphic,and not equal=2*q+2.

E = EllipticCurve('11a1');E;Et = E.quadratic_twist(2);Et;Es=E.short_weierstrass_model();Es;Ess=Et.short_weierstrass_model();Ess;

SQ.<x>=QuadraticField(2);SQ;Ee11 = EllipticCurve(SQ,[-53568,-8643456]);Ee11;E211 = EllipticCurve(SQ,[-13392,-1080432]);Ess;E211;Ee11.is_isomorphic(E211);

x=var("x");K. = NumberField(x^2+x+2, 'a');K;EE = EllipticCurve(K,'11a1');E;EEE=EllipticCurve(K,[0,1,0,-41,-199]);EEE;E.is_isomorphic(EEE); m=GF(5,3,"v");m;EER = EllipticCurve(m,'11a1');EER;EEER=EllipticCurve(m,[0,1,0,-41,-199]);EEER; EER.cardinality();EEER.cardinality();7+5==2*3+2

It is hard to understand the question. As far as i understood, we start with an elliptic curve $E$ defined over a finite field of characteristic $q$, a prime power, and consider its quadratic twist $E^d$ relatively to a fixed $d$.

The curve $E$ is given in sage in the "long form" EllipticCurve( GF(q), [ a1, a2, a3, a4, a6 ] ) but also in the "short form" EllipticCurve( GF(q), [ 0, 0, 0, a4, a6 ] ) , i.e. EllipticCurve( GF(q), [ a4, a6 ] ) (for some other values). The characteristic should not be among $2,3$ for this.

We try to see if $|E|+|E^d|$ is indeed $2q+2$ and if the order of $E$ over $\mathbb F_{q^2}$, the curve obtained after a base change to GF(q^2) is also $2q+2$ as expected.

We are working with the curve $E$ labelled 11a1.

The posted code, slightly rearranged

E   = EllipticCurve('11a1')
Et  = E.quadratic_twist(2) 
Es  = E .short_weierstrass_model()
Ets = Et.short_weierstrass_model()

print "E   is %s" % E
print "Et  is %s" % Et
print "Es  is %s" % Es
print "Ets is %s" % Ets

delivers

E   is Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + y = x^3 - x^2 - 10*x - 20 over Rational Field
Et  is Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x^2 - 41*x - 199 over Rational Field
Es  is Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 - 13392*x - 1080432 over Rational Field
Ets is Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 - 53568*x - 8643456 over Rational Field

Let us see, as in the post, that over $\mathbb Q(\sqrt 2)$ the twists are as computed:

We have for instance:

sage: K.<a> = QuadraticField( 2 )
sage: E.base_extend( K ).is_isomorphic( Et.base_extend(K) ) 
True
sage: Es.base_extend( K ).is_isomorphic( Ets.base_extend(K) ) 
True
sage: E.is_isomorphic( Es )
True
sage: E.is_isomorphic( Et )
False
sage: Et.is_isomorphic( Ets )
True

(Here, i prefered to change base, instead of using the curve parameters explicitly, after specifying the new field, K, for instance as in E = EllipticCurve( QQ, [ 0, -1, 1, -10, -20 ] ) with the base change E.base_extend(K) which is EllipticCurve( K, [ 0, -1, 1, -10, -20 ] ) .

Now we are in position to count points over prime fields for the first relevant $q$ values, up to - say - $49$.

For each such $q$ let us denote by F the field GF(q), and by K the field GF(q^2). We compute the orders of the curves $$ E(F),\ E_s(F),\ E^d(F), \ E_s^d(F);\qquad E(K),\ E_s(K),\ E^d(K), \ E_s^d(K);\ .$$ We are starting the computations, of course, iff $2$ is not a square in $F$. The following code computes the relevant orders:

E   = EllipticCurve('11a1')
Et  = E.quadratic_twist(2) 
Es  = E .short_weierstrass_model()
Ets = Et.short_weierstrass_model()

print "E   is %s" % E
print "Et  is %s" % Et
print "Es  is %s" % Es
print "Ets is %s" % Ets


print "  q : E(F) Es(F) Et(F) Ets(F) :   E(K)  Es(K)  Et(K) Ets(K) : 2q+2..."
for q in prime_powers( 344 ):
    if gcd( q, 2*3*11 ) > 1:
        continue

    if not q.is_prime():
        F.<a> = GF(q)
    else               :
        F     = GF(q)

    if F(2).is_square():
        continue

    K.<b> = GF( q^2 )

    ord_F_E   = E  .base_extend( F ).order()
    ord_F_Es  = Es .base_extend( F ).order()
    ord_F_Et  = Et .base_extend( F ).order()
    ord_F_Ets = Ets.base_extend( F ).order()
    ord_K_E   = E  .base_extend( K ).order()
    ord_K_Es  = Es .base_extend( K ).order()
    ord_K_Et  = Et .base_extend( K ).order()
    ord_K_Ets = Ets.base_extend( K ).order()

    print ( "%3s :%4s %5s %5s %6s  :%6s %6s %6s %6s : %3s = %3s+%3s %s"
            % ( q
                , ord_F_E  
                , ord_F_Es 
                , ord_F_Et 
                , ord_F_Ets
                , ord_K_E  
                , ord_K_Es 
                , ord_K_Et 
                , ord_K_Ets
                , 2*q+2
                , ord_F_E, ord_F_Et
                , bool( 2*q+2 == ord_F_E + ord_F_Et ) ) )

This gives (hope it comes in one row each print):
