Goal: The topic of this seminar is elliptic curves over function fields over finite fields, with the aim being to study Tate’s conjecture and its connection to the Birch-Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture. We mainly follow the lecture notes by Ulmer.  

We will also survey several aspects of elliptic curves over the function field setting. Here is the detailed program.

If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to us.
