+# Rational Parametrizations of Rational Plane Curves
+
+!!! note
+    In this section, $C$ will denote a complex projective plane curve, defined by an absolutely irreducible,
+    homogeneous polynomial in three variables, with coeffients in $\mathbb Q$. Moreover, we will write $n = \deg C$.
+
+Recall that the curve $C$ is *rational* if it is birationally equivalent to the projective line $\mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)$.
+In other words, there exists a *rational parametrization* of $C$, that is, a birational map $\mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)\dashrightarrow C$.
+Note that such a parametrization is given by three homogeneous polynomials of the same degree in the homogeneous coordinates on
+$\mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)$.
+
+!!! note
+    The curve $C$ is rational iff its geometric genus is zero.
+
+Based on work of Max Noether on adjoint curves, Hilbert und Hurwitz showed that if
+$C$ is rational, then there is a birational map $C \dashrightarrow D$ defined over $\mathbb Q$ such
+that $D = \mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)$ if $n$ is odd, and $D\subset\mathbb P^2(\mathbb C)$ is a conic if $n$ is even.
+
+!!! note
+    If a conic $D$ contains a rational point, then there exists a parametrization of $D$ defined over $\mathbb Q$;
+    otherwise, there exists a parametrization of $D$ defined over a quadratic field extension of $\mathbb Q$.
+
+The approach of Hilbert und Hurwitz is constructive and allows one, in principle, to find rational parametrizations.
+The resulting algorithm is not very practical, however, as the approach asks to compute adjoint curves repeatedly,
+at each of a number of reduction steps.
+
+The algorithm implemented in OSCAR relies on reduction steps of a different type and requires the computation of adjoint
+curves only once. Its individual steps are interesting in their own right:
+
+ - Assure that the curve  $C$ is rational by checking that its geometric genus is zero;
+ - compute a basis of the adjoint curves of $C$ of degree ${n-2}$; each such basis defines a birational map $C \dashrightarrow C_{n-2},$
+    where $C_{n-2}$ is a rational normal curve in $\mathbb P^{n-2}(\mathbb C)$;
+ - the anticanonical linear system on $C_{n-2}$ defines a birational map $C_{n-2}\dashrightarrow C_{n-4}$, where $C_{n-4}$ is a rational normal curve in in $\mathbb P^{n-4}(\mathbb C)$;
+ - iterate the previous step to obtain a birational map  $C_{n-2} \dashrightarrow \dots \dashrightarrow D$,
+    where $D = \mathbb P^1(\mathbb C)$ if $n$ is odd, and $D\subset\mathbb P^2(\mathbb C)$ is a conic if $n$ is even;
+ - invert the birational map  $C \dashrightarrow C_{n-2} \dashrightarrow \dots \dashrightarrow D$; 
+ - if $n$ is even, compute a parametrization of the conic $D$ and compose it with the inverted map above.
+
+!!! note
+    The defining property of an adjoint curve is that it passes with “sufficiently high” multiplicity through the singularities of $C$.
+    There are several concepts of making this precise. For each such concept, there is a corresponding  *adjoint ideal* of $C$,
+	namely the homogeneous ideal formed by the defining polynomials of the adjoint curves. In OSCAR, we follow
+	the concept of Gorenstein which leads to the largest possible adjoint ideal.
+
+See [Bhm99](@cite) and [BDLP17](@cite) for details and further references.
