These are the notes from a course of five lectures at the 2009 Park City Math Institute. The focus is on elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields. In the first three lectures, we explain the main classical results (mainly due to Tate) on the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture in this context and its connection to the Tate conjecture about divisors on surfaces. This is preceded by a "Lecture 0" on background material. In the remaining two lectures, we discuss more recent… Expand

A family of elliptic curves of large rank
Abstract Fix a finite field k, a positive integer d relatively prime to the characteristic of k, and an element a of k. In this article we study the elliptic curve E with equation x ( x − 1 ) ( y − aExpand
If Riemann’s Zeta Function is True, it Contradicts Zeta’s Dirichlet Series, Causing "Explosion". If it is False, it Causes Unsoundness.
Riemann's "analytic continuation" produces a second definition of the Zeta function, that Riemann claimed is convergent throughout half-plane $s \in \mathbb{C}$, $\text{Re}(s)\le1$, (except atExpand
Propositional Logic Applied to Three Contradictory Definitions of the Zeta Function, and to Conditionally Convergent Series

Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ denote a finite field of characteristic $p \geq 5$ and let $d = q+1$. Let $E_d$ denote the elliptic curve over the function field $\mathbb{F}_{q^2}(t)$ defined by the equation $y^2Expand Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) Renormalization is a Logical Paradox, Zeta Function Regularization is Logically Invalid, and Both are Mathematically Invalid Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) renormalizaion is a paradox. It uses the Euler-Mascheroni constant, which is defined by a conditionally convergent series.

L-functions with large analytic rank and abelian varieties with large algebraic rank over function fields
The goal of this paper is to explain how a simple but apparently new fact of linear algebra together with the cohomological interpretation of L-functions allows one to produce many examples ofExpand
Arithmetic moduli of elliptic curves

This work is a comprehensive treatment of recent developments in the study of elliptic curves and their moduli spaces. The arithmetic study of the moduli spaces began with Jacobi's "Fundamenta Nova"Expand
Elliptic fibers over non-perfect residue fields

Let k denote an algebraically closed field over a prime field F (= Q or Z/~Z) and j a variable over k. Choose an elliptic curve A5 defined over F(j) with j as its absolute invariant. Two suchExpand

Endomorphisms of abelian varieties over finite fields
Almost all of the general facts about abelian varieties which we use without comment or refer to as "well known" are due to WEIL, and the references for them are [12] and [3]. Let k be a field, k itsExpand
