An elliptic curve is an algebraic curve of genus one with some additional properties. Questions with this tag will often have the top-level tags nt.number-theory or ag.algebraic-geometry. Note also the tag arithmetic-geometry as well as some related tags such as rational-points, abelian-varieties, heights. Please do not use this tag for questions related to ellipses; instead use conic-sections.

Field of Definition of Quotient of Elliptic Curve
In Silverman's Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves, Chapter III, Proposition 4.12, we have the statement that if $E/F$ is an elliptic curve and $\Phi$ is a $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{F}/F)$-invariant subgroup then …

Primes of bad reduction for CM elliptic curves
$\DeclareMathOperator\Norm{Norm}$Suppose $E/\mathbb{Q}(j(E))$ is a CM elliptic curve and $d$ is a non-square. Let $E_d$ denote the twist of $E$ by $\mathbb{Q}(j(E))(\sqrt{d})$. I know if $d$ is relati …

Isogenies of degree 3 of elliptic curves with j-invariant 0
Let $E/\mathbb{Q}$ be an elliptic curve with $j(E)=0$. I.e., $E$ has Weierstrass equations
$$ y^2 = x^3+ B$$
for some $B\in \mathbb{Q}$. $E$ has complex multiplication by $\mathcal{O}:= \mbox{ ring o …

Rank and Taylor coefficient in Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer
I am trying to get a better understanding of the Birch and Swinnerton–Dyer conjecture. I have two questions
Why might one expect that the analytic rank of $L(E,s)$ is equal to the rank of $E(\mathbb{ …

Supersingular curves over $\mathbb{F}_q$ and the splitting of $p$
I'm looking at chapter 4 of Waterhouse's "Abelian varieties over finite fields"; and Theorems 4.1 and 4.2 seem to use the following fact:
Suppose that $E/\mathbb{F}_q$ is an elliptic curve over a fin …

$F$-rational isogenies of CM Elliptic Curves
Let $F$ be a number field and $\mathcal{O}$ an order in an imaginary quadratic field $K$. Assume $K\subseteq F$. In Lang's Elliptic Functions, it is shown that over that there is a bijection between, …

Fields of Definition of Elliptic Curves
I am currently studying the theory of complex multiplication and I find myself confused by the language in a lot of the literature.
In Silverman's Advanced Topics in the Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves …

Questions on the $j$-invariant
The j-invariant as a modular function is typically defined
$$j(\tau) = \frac{E_4(\tau)^3}{\Delta(\tau)}$$
since $E_4$ is a modular form of weight 4 and $\Delta$ has weight 12, it follows that $j$ is a …

Mazur's Question on Mod $N$ Galois representations
In Rational Isogenies of Prime Degree, Mazur poses:
"the problem of determining all elliptic curves $E'/\mathbb{Q}$ with symplectic $\mathrm{Gal}(\bar{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})$ isomorphisms $E'[N]\con …
