definition of group operation in elliptic curves
Hi,
Using the isomorphism between an elliptic curve $E$ and its $Pic_1(E)$ group, one can
easily give $E$ the structure of a group variety after choosing a point $O\in E$. The
operation that one gets ...

Probably this is a very easy question. Let $f:X\rightarrow S$ be a resolution of a projective surface such that
$$K_X = f^{*}K_S+\sum_ia_iE_i$$
with $a_i>0$. By Grauert-Mumford theorem the ...
