The pairing functions use precompile 0x8, defined in EIP-197. The EIP states: Elements a * i + b of F_p^2 are encoded as two elements of F_p, (a, b) So the imaginary component should be specified first. Additionally, it checks whether e(a1, b1) * ... * e(ak, bk) = 1 The docstrings currently list real components first and invert the first pairing term. This commit corrects them.
