+Elliptic curves over a general ring
+
+Sage defines an elliptic curve over a ring `R` as a *Weierstrass Model* with
+five coefficients `[a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4,a_6]` in `R` given by
+
+.. MATH::
+
+    y^2 + a_1 xy + a_3 y = x^3 + a_2 x^2 + a_4 x + a_6.
+
+Note that the (usual) scheme-theoretic definition of an elliptic curve over `R`
+would require the discriminant to be a unit in `R`; Sage only imposes that the
+discriminant is nonzero. Also note that in Magma, "Weierstrass Model" refers
+to a model with `a_1=a_2=a_3=0`, which is called *Short Weierstrass Model* in
+Sage; these do not always exist in characteristics 2 and 3.
+
+EXAMPLES:
+
+We construct an elliptic curve over an elaborate base ring::
+
+    sage: p, a, b = 97, 1, 3
+    sage: R.<u> = GF(p)[]
+    sage: S.<v> = R[]
+    sage: T = S.fraction_field()
+    sage: E = EllipticCurve(T, [a, b]); E
+    Elliptic Curve defined by y^2  = x^3 + x + 3 over Fraction Field of Univariate
+    Polynomial Ring in v over Univariate Polynomial Ring in u over Finite Field of size 97
+    sage: latex(E)
+    y^2  = x^{3} + x + 3

+            sage: F = eqn.lhs() - eqn.rhs(); F                                          # needs sage.symbolic
+            -x^3 + x^2 + y^2 + 10*x + y + 20
+            sage: y = var('y')                                                          # needs sage.symbolic

+            [y == -1/2*sqrt(4*x^3 - 4*x^2 - 40*x - 79) - 1/2,
+             y == 1/2*sqrt(4*x^3 - 4*x^2 - 40*x - 79) - 1/2]
+
+        You can also solve for x in terms of y, but the result is
+        horrendous. Continuing with the above example, we can explicitly
+        find points over random fields by substituting in values for x::
+
+            sage: # needs sage.symbolic
+            sage: v = F.solve(y)[0].rhs(); v

+            -1/2*sqrt(-32*sqrt(2) - 87) - 1/2
+
+        We can even do arithmetic with them, as follows::
+
+            sage: # needs sage.symbolic
+            sage: E2 = E.change_ring(SR); E2

+
+        We can use the ``extend`` parameter to make the necessary
+        quadratic extension.  Note that in such cases the returned
+        point is a point on a new curve object, the result of changing
+        the base ring to the parent of `x`::

+
+        Or we can extend scalars.  There are two such points in `E(\RR)`::

+            sage: E.change_ring(RR).lift_x(3, all=True)
+            [(3.00000000000000 : -5.42442890089805 : 1.00000000000000),

+
+        And of course it always works in `E(\CC)`::

+
+        In this example we start with a curve defined over `\QQ`
+        which has no rational points with `x=0`, but using
+        ``extend = True`` we can construct such a point over a quadratic
+        field::

+# Explanation of the division (also known as torsion) polynomial
+# functions in Sage.
+#
+# The main user function division_polynomial() (also aliased as
+# torsion_polynomial()) is used to compute polynomials whose roots
+# determine the m-torsion points on the curve.  Three options are
+# available, which effect the result when m is even and also the
+# parent ring of the returned value.  The function can return either a
+# polynomial or the evaluation of that polynomial at a point,
+# depending on the input.  Values are cached.
+#
+# The options are controlled by the value of the parameter
+# two_torsion_multiplicity, which may be 0, 1 or 2.  If it is 0 or 2,
+# then a univariate polynomial will be returned (or evaluated at the
+# parameter x if x is not None).  This is the polynomial whose roots
+# are the values of x(P) at the nonzero points P where m*P=0
+# (when two_torsion_multiplicity==2), or the points where m*P=0 but
+# 2*P\not=0 (when two_torsion_multiplicity==0).
+#
+# If two_torsion_multiplicity==1, then a bivariate polynomial is
+# returned, which (as a function on the curve) has a simple zero at
+# each nonzero point P such that m*P=0.  When m is odd this is a
+# polynomial in x alone, but is still returned as an element of a
+# polynomial ring in two variables; when m is even it has a factor
+# 2y+a_1x+a_3.  In this case if the parameter x is not None then it
+# should be a tuple of length 2, or a point P on the curve, and the
+# returned value is the value of the bivariate polynomial at this
+# point.
+#
+# Comparison with Magma: Magma's function DivisionPolynomial(E,m)
+# returns a triple of univariate polynomials f,g,h where f is
+# \code{E.division_polynomial(m,two_torsion_multiplicity=2)}, g is
+# \code{E.division_polynomial(m,two_torsion_multiplicity=0)} and h
+# is the quotient, so that h=1 when m is odd.

+
+        An example to illustrate the relationship with torsion points::
+
+            sage: F = GF(11)
+            sage: E = EllipticCurve(F, [0, 2]); E
+            Elliptic Curve defined by y^2  = x^3 + 2 over Finite Field of size 11
+            sage: f = E.division_polynomial_0(5); f
+            5*x^12 + x^9 + 8*x^6 + 4*x^3 + 7
+            sage: f.factor()
+            (5) * (x^2 + 5) * (x^2 + 2*x + 5) * (x^2 + 5*x + 7)
+             * (x^2 + 7*x + 7) * (x^2 + 9*x + 5) * (x^2 + 10*x + 7)
+
+        This indicates that the `x`-coordinates of all the 5-torsion points of
+        `E` are in `\GF{11^2}`, and therefore the `y`-coordinates are in
+        `\GF{11^4}`::
+
+            sage: # needs sage.rings.finite_rings

+             8*a^3 + a^2 + 4*a + 8,

+             6*a^3 + 9*a^2 + 3*a + 4,

+             3*a^3 + 10*a^2 + 7*a + 8,
+             3*a^3 + 10*a^2 + 7*a + 3,
+             3*a^3 + 10*a^2 + 7*a + 1,
+             2*a^3 + 3*a^2 + a + 7,
+             a^3 + 7*a^2 + 6*a]
+
+        Now we check that these are exactly the `x`-coordinates of the
+        5-torsion points of `E`::
+
+            sage: for x in x_coords:                                                    # needs sage.rings.finite_rings
+            ....:     assert X.lift_x(x).order() == 5
+
+        The roots of the polynomial are the `x`-coordinates of the points `P`
+        such that `mP=0` but `2P\not=0`::

+          a given element `x` whenever it appears beneficial to do so.
+          Explicitly setting this flag overrides the default behavior.
+
+          Note that the complexity of evaluating a generic division
+          polynomial scales much worse than that of computing the value
+          at a point directly (using the recursive formulas), hence
+          setting this flag can be detrimental to performance.
+
+          If 0: Do not use cached generic division polynomials.
+
+          If 1: If the generic division polynomial for this `m` has been
+          cached before, evaluate it at `x` to compute the result.
+
+          If 2: Compute the value at `x` by evaluating the generic
+          division polynomial. If the generic `m`-division polynomial
+          has not yet been cached, compute and cache it first.

+        Return a (twisted or untwisted) Montgomery model for this
+        elliptic curve, if possible.
+
+        A Montgomery curve is a smooth projective curve of the form
+
+        .. MATH::
+
+            BY^2 = X^3 + AX^2 + X.
+
+        The Montgomery curve is called *untwisted* if `B=1`.
+
+        INPUT:
+
+        - ``twisted`` -- boolean (default: ``False``); allow `B \neq 1`
+
+        - ``morphism`` -- boolean (default: ``False``); also return an
+          isomorphism from this curve to the computed Montgomery model
+
+        OUTPUT:
+
+        If ``twisted`` is ``False`` (the default), an
+        :class:`EllipticCurve_generic` object encapsulating an untwisted
+        Montgomery curve.  Otherwise, a

+        such a curve together with an isomorphism of suitable type (either
+        :class:`~sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.weierstrass_morphism.WeierstrassIsomorphism`

+        An isomorphism between the Montgomery and Weierstrass form can

+
+        Not all elliptic curves have a Montgomery model over their field
+        of definition::
+
+            sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(257), [1,1])
+            sage: E.montgomery_model()
+            Traceback (most recent call last):

+            ValueError: Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + x + 1

+        ::
+
+            sage: E = EllipticCurve(GF(257), [10,10])
+            sage: E.montgomery_model()
+            Traceback (most recent call last):

+            over Finite Field of size 257 has no untwisted Montgomery model
+
+        However, as hinted by the error message, the latter curve does
+        admit a *twisted* Montgomery model, which can be computed by
+        passing ``twisted=True``::
+
+            sage: E.montgomery_model(twisted=True)
+            Projective Plane Curve over Finite Field of size 257
+            defined by -x^3 + 8*x^2*z - 127*y^2*z - x*z^2
+
+        Since Sage internally represents elliptic curves as (long) Weierstrass
+        curves, which do not feature the Montgomery `B` coefficient, the
+        returned curve in this case is merely a
+        :class:`~sage.schemes.curves.projective_curve.ProjectivePlaneCurve`
+        rather than the usual :class:`EllipticCurve_generic`.
+
+        Arithmetic on curves of this type is not implemented natively,
+        but can easily be emulated by mapping back and forth to the
+        corresponding Weierstrass curve::
+
+            sage: C, f = E.montgomery_model(twisted=True, morphism=True)
+            sage: f
+            Scheme morphism:

+            sage: Q = C(17, 17)
+            sage: P + Q             # this doesn't work...

+            (107 : 168 : 1)
+
+        Using the fact that the Weil pairing satisfies `e(\psi(P),\psi(Q)) =
+        e(P,Q)^{\deg\psi}`, even pairings can be emulated in this way (note
+        that isomorphisms have degree `1`)::
+
+            sage: # needs sage.rings.finite_rings
+            sage: F.<z2> = GF(257^2)
+            sage: C_ = C.change_ring(F)
+            sage: g_ = g.change_ring(F)
+            sage: g_(P).order()
+            12
+            sage: T = C_(-7 * z2 - 57, 31 * z2 - 52, 1)
+            sage: g_(T).order()

+            sage: g_(P).weil_pairing(g_(T), 12)
+            15*z2 + 204
+
+        Another alternative is to simply extend the base field enough
+        for the curve to have an untwisted Montgomery model::
+
+            sage: C_ = E.change_ring(F).montgomery_model(); C_                          # needs sage.rings.finite_rings
+            Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 = x^3 + 249*x^2 + x
+            over Finite Field in z2 of size 257^2
