Feb 3, 2022 at 0:16 comment added John Baez I think @AmorFati and diveritti mean different things when they say "the curve". The fibers of the elliptic fibration are generically curves of genus 1, and such curves indeed have nonzero holomorphic 1-forms, but diverietti's original claim was that the base space $C$ must be a curve of genus 0, because the total space $S$ has no nonzero holomorphic 1-forms.
Aug 24, 2020 at 13:03 comment added diverietti I don't understand. The general fibre has genus one, indeed.
Aug 21, 2020 at 1:05 comment added AmorFati @diverietti Why is the curve not allowed to have genus $1$? The canonical bundle of an elliptic curve is trivial, so all the holomorphic forms on it are constant...

Feb 8, 2012 at 5:11 comment added Jay that is great~ thanks! by the way, do you know anything about the existence of sections? maybe just a topological section...

Feb 7, 2012 at 9:40 comment added diverietti Good! So is this answer satisfactory or you wanted to know more specific things?
