j-line
Not to be confused with J (New York City Subway service).
In the study of the arithmetic of elliptic curves, the j-line over any ring R is the coarse moduli scheme attached to the moduli problem Γ(1)]:[1]
![{\displaystyle M([\Gamma (1)])=\mathrm {Spec} (R[j])}](../I/m/ab23afece9ba02b8ed011358c5c4b852018c234a.svg)
with the j-invariant normalized a la Tate: j = 0 has complex multiplication by Z[ζ3], and j = 1728 by Z[i].
The j-line can be seen as giving a coordinatization of the classical modular curve of level 1, X0(1), which is isomorphic to the complex projective line.[2]
