How to convert this quartic to Weierstrass form? $x^{2}y^{2}-2\left( 1+2\rho \right) xy^{2}+y^{2}-x^{2}-2\left( 1+2\rho \right) x-1=0$

If $E$ is a non-CM elliptic curve over $Q$, then it is a famous theorem of Serre that there is some integer $M(E)$ such that for any prime $\ell > M(E)$, the image of the Galois r …

Let $C$ be an elliptic curve. Then the full L-series of $C$ is given by $$L(C,s)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}((a_{n})/(n^{s}))$$ where s=α+iβ and $a_{n}$ are the coefficients of Dirichlet …

Let $\textbf{Ell}$ be the category of elliptic curves over various base schemes, and where a morphism between $E\rightarrow S$ and $E'\rightarrow S'$ is a cartesian diagram with th …

Let $E(\mathbb{F}_q)$ - elliptic curve, $r$ is prime, $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)[r]| > 1$. Let $r | q-1$. Is it true that $|E(\mathbb{F}_q)[r]| = r^2$?

Fix a level $N \geq 3$ and denote by $\Gamma(N)\subset SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ the subgroup of matrices which are congruent to the identity modulo $N$. The open modular curve $Y(N)$ corr …

Let $K$ be a number field and $S$ a finite set of places of $K$. Then Shafarevich's theorem states that there are only finitely many isomorphism classes of elliptic curves $E$ over …

I've come across the following question, which I think must be easy for experts: is there a complex elliptic curve $E$ with an isogeny of degree 2 to itself? Of course one can as …

It is well-known that many modular forms can be expressed as infinite products. For instance, the most famous one is probably the expansion $$\Delta(q) = q \prod_{n=1}^\infty (1-q …

In Katz's article p-adic properties of modular schemes and modular forms in the Antwerp proceedings, the following definition of an elliptic curve over a base scheme $S$ is given: …

We know that for each elliptic curve over rationals, we can define the Dirichlet series of the Hasse–Weil $L$-function, i.e., the function associated with an elliptic curve over ra …

For $E$ an elliptic curve, let $LS(E)$ be the group of line bundles on $E$ with a flat connection. This is an $\mathbb{A}^1$-torsor over $E^\vee$. By Riemann-Hilbert (since the gau …

Actually I have a few related questions. Here, by $Y(1)$ I mean the affine $j$-line $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathcal{H}$. I know $Y(1)$ is only a coarse moduli space, s …
