Klappentext zu „The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves “
The theory of elliptic curves is distinguished by its long history and by the diversity of the methods that have been used in its study. This book treats the arithmetic theory of elliptic curves in its modern formulation, through the use of basic algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. The book begins with a brief discussion of the necessary algebro-geometric results, and proceeds with an exposition of the geometry of elliptic curves, the formal group of an elliptic curve, and elliptic curves over finite fields, the complex numbers, local fields, and global fields. Included are proofs of the Mordell-Weil theorem giving finite generation of the group of rational points and Siegel's theorem on finiteness of integral points.For this second edition of The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves, there is a new chapter entitled Algorithmic Aspects of Elliptic Curves, with an emphasis on algorithms over finite fields which have cryptographic applications. These include Lenstra's factorization algorithm, Schoof's point counting algorithm, Miller's algorithm to compute the Tate and Weil pairings, and a description of aspects of elliptic curve cryptography. There is also a new section on Szpiro's conjecture and ABC, as well as expanded and updated accounts of recent developments and numerous new exercises.
The book contains three appendices: Elliptic Curves in Characteristics 2 and 3, Group Cohomology, and a third appendix giving an overview of more advanced topics.

This book treats the arithmetic approach in its modern formulation, through the use of basic algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. Following a brief discussion of the necessary algebro-geometric results, the book proceeds with an exposition of the geometry and the formal group of elliptic curves, elliptic curves over finite fields, the complex numbers, local fields, and global fields. Final chapters deal with integral and rational points, including Siegels theorem and explicit computations for the curve Y = X + DX, while three appendices conclude the whole: Elliptic Curves in Characteristics 2 and 3, Group Cohomology, and an overview of more advanced topics.

Rezension zu „The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves “
From the reviews of the second edition:"This well-written book covers the basic facts about the geometry and arithmetic of elliptic curves, and is sure to become the standard reference in the subject. It meets the needs of at least three groups of people: students interested in doing research in Diophantine geometry, mathematicians needing a reference for standard facts about elliptic curves, and computer scientists interested in algorithms and needing an introduction to elliptic curves..."-- MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS
"The book under review is the second, revised, enlarged, and updated edition of J. Silverman's meanwhile classical primer of the arithmetic of elliptic curves. ... All together, this enlarged and updated version of J. Silverman's classic 'The Arithmetic of Elliptic Curves' significantly increases the unchallenged value of this modern primer as a standard textbook in the field. ... This makes the entire text a perfect source for teachers and students, for courses and self-study, and for further studies in the arithmetic of elliptic curves likewise." (Werner Kleinert, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1194, 2010)
"For the second edition of his masterly book, the author considerably updated and improved several results and proofs. ... book contains a great many exercises, many of which develop or complement the results from the main body of the book. ... The reference list contains 317 items and reflects both classical and recent achievements on the topic. Notes on the exercises are an aid to the reader. ... Summarizing, this is an excellent book ... . useful both for experienced mathematicians and for graduate students." (Vasil' I. Andriichuk, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2010 i)
