Elliptic Curves
Semester
SoSe 2020

Lecturer
Walter Gubler

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Seminar

Contents
This seminar aims at an introduction to the geometry of elliptic curves. They are projective group
varieties of dimension 1 and they can be described explicitly as a plane curve of degree 3. They are
basic objects for some of the most challenging problems in mathematics like the Fermat conjecture
and the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. We will describe the group structure, study homomorphisms,
introduce the Tate module and the Weil pairing.
