In the process of counting the number of supersinguar elliptic curve

71 Views Asked by At

Let $φ:E→E$ be $q$-th Frobenius map and $φ'$ be it's dual isogeny. And we define $a$ as $a=1-deg(1-φ)+deg(φ)$(what we call trace of frobenius).

Then, My question is ,

Why $[a]=φ+φ'$ ?

These questions are from Silverman's 'the arithmetic of elliptic curves', $p150$. In the process of counting the number of supersingular elliptic curve over closed field of positive character, I need to use this result.
