Elliptic Curves by Thomas Kramer

Elliptic curves belong to the most fundamental objects in mathematics and connect many different research areas such as number theory, algebraic geometry and complex analysis. Their definition and basic properties can be stated in an elementary way: Roughly speaking, an elliptic curve is the set of solutions to a cubic equation in two variables over a field. This PDF covers the following topics related to Elliptic Curves : Analytic theory of elliptic curves, Elliptic integrals, The topology of elliptic curves, Elliptic curves as complex tori, Complex tori as elliptic curves, Geometric form of the group law, Abel’s theorem, The j-invariant, The valence formula, Geometry of elliptic curves, Affine and projective varieties, Smoothness and tangent lines, Intersection theory for plane curves, The group law on elliptic curves, Abel’s theorem and Riemann-Roch, Weierstrass normal forms, The j-invariant, Arithmetic of elliptic curves, Rational points on elliptic curves, Reduction modulo primes and torsion points, An intermezzo on group cohomology, The weak Mordell-Weil theorem, Heights and the Mordell-Weil theorem.

Elliptic curves by Miles Reid

Elliptic curves by Miles Reid

This course note aims to give a basic overview of some of the main lines of study of elliptic curves, building on the student's knowledge of undergraduate algebra and complex analysis, and filling in background material where required (especially in number theory and geometry). Particular aims are to establish the link between doubly periodic functions, Riemann surfaces of genus 1, plane cubic curves, and associated Diophantine problems.
