Jan 25, 2018 at 12:21 comment added Oliver Nash Here's something related I'd like to know: given two non-singular conics $C, D \subset \mathbb{P^2}$, the curve $\{(p, L) \in C\times D^* | p \in L\}$ has genus one and so choosing a distinguished point we have an elliptic curve. What is a geometric construction of the group law?
