The Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer Conjecture by A. Wiles A polynomial relation f (x‚ y) = 0 in two variables defines a curve C0 . If the coefficients of the polynomial are rational numbers then one can ask for solutions of the equation f (x‚ y) = 0 with x‚ y ∈ Q‚ in other words for rational points on the curve. The set of all such points is denoted C0 (Q). If we consider a non-singular projective model C of the curve then topologically C is classified by its genus‚ and we call this the genus of
