[Date] Feb 25 [Speaker] Linus Hamann [Abstract] In this talk, we will begin with a classical overview of the definition of an elliptic curve and associated properties. Afterwords, we will introduce some of the tools and terminology used in the algebraic geometry of smooth curves, including the Picard group, differentials, and Riemann-Roch. The remainder of the talk will be dedicated to using this new terminology to illuminate various features of the classical view of elliptic curves and thereby give insight into their importance.
