Jun 27, 2011 at 13:15 comment added user4192 I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm trying the second option (blowing up a hypersurface in weighted projective space), and running into some troubles. Here's what's confusing me: an elliptic curve in Weierstrass form $ y^2 z = x^3 + A x z^2 + B z^3 $ has distinguished point $[0,1,0]$. I would think choosing this point fiberwise would give the zero section $ s_0$. However, I don't see this point in the weighted projective model. Instead I see the distinguished point $ [1,1,0,0]$. Does blowing up this point correspond to choosing the "point at infinity" in each fiber?
