Notation for propriety of elliptic curve

43 Views Asked by At

Let $ E: y^2=x^3+ax^2+bx+c $ be an elliptic curve over $Q$ which have discriminant $\Delta\neq 0$ and conductor $N$ And we have this notation

$Ord_{2}(\Delta) $ or $ord_{2}(b)$

$V_{l}(\Delta)$

What do we mean by these two notations above? And what are their roles?

And give an example of them in this curve $$E:y^2=x^3-x^2+1$$
