Néron differential

In mathematics, a Néron differential, named after André Néron, is an almost canonical choice of 1-form on an elliptic curve or abelian variety defined over a local field or global field. The Néron differential behaves well on the Néron minimal models.

For an elliptic curve of the form

y^{2}+a_{1}xy+a_{3}=x^{3}+a_{2}x^{2}+a_{4}x+a_{6}

the Néron differential is

{\frac {dx}{2y+a_{1}x+a_{3}}}
