Examples
- If K is a field of characteristic 2, every elliptic curve defined by an equation of the form
is supersingular (see Washington2003, p. 122).
- If K is a field of characteristic 3, every elliptic curve defined by an equation of the form
is supersingular (see Washington2003, p. 122).
- For with p>3 we have that the elliptic curve defined by is supersingular if and only if and the elliptic curve defined by is supersingular if and only if (see Washington2003, 4.35).
- There are also more exotic examples: The elliptic curve given by is nonsingular over for . It is supersingular for p = 23 and ordinary for every other (see Hartshorne1977, 4.23.6).
- Elkies (1987) showed that any elliptic curve defined over the rationals is supersingular for an infinite number of primes.
- Birch & Kuyk (1975) give a table of all supersingular curves for primes up to 307. For the first few primes the supersingular elliptic curves are given as follows. The number of supersingular values of j other than 0 or 1728 is the integer part of (p−1)/12.
| prime | supersingular j invariants |
|---|---|
| 2 | 0 |
| 3 | 0=1728 |
| 5 | 0 |
| 7 | 6=1728 |
| 11 | 0, 1=1728 |
| 13 | 5 |
| 17 | 0,8 |
| 19 | 7, 1728 |
| 23 | 0,19, 1728 |
| 29 | 0,2, 25 |
| 31 | 2, 4, 1728 |
| 37 | 8, 3±√15 |

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
