Elliptic Curves over Function Fields
by Douglas Ulmer
Publisher: arXiv 2011
Number of pages: 72
Description:
These are the notes from a course of five lectures at the 2009 Park City Math Institute. The focus is on elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. In the first three lectures, we explain the main classical results (mainly due to Tate) on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture in this context and its connection to the Tate conjecture about divisors on surfaces.

This is an introduction to the theory of Shimura varieties, or, in other words, to the arithmetic theory of automorphic functions and holomorphic automorphic forms. Because of their brevity, many proofs have been omitted or only sketched.

The fascinating Smarandache's universe is halfway between the recreational mathematics and the number theory. This book presents new Smarandache functions, conjectures, solved and unsolved problems, new type sequences and new notions in number theory.

An examination of some of the problems posed by Florentin Smarandache. The problems are from different areas, such as sequences, primes and other aspects of number theory. The problems are solved in the book, or the author raises new questions.
