(a) State the Riemann-Roch theorem.
(b) Let be a smooth projective curve of genus 1 over an algebraically closed field , with char . Show that there exists an isomorphism from to the plane cubic in defined by the equation
for some distinct .
(c) Let be the point at infinity on . Show that the map is an isomorphism.
Describe how this defines a group structure on . Denote addition by . Determine all the points with in terms of the equation of the plane curve in part (b).
