Translation of a paper of John Tate

265 Views Asked by At

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if the paper "Classes d'isogenie des varietes abeliennes sur un corps fini" by John Tate has been translated into English. My French is not that good and I found it hard to try and translate it at the same time as I was trying to understand the math.

Edit: It would be best if I could get a translations of the whole paper but for my purposes right now it would suffice if anyone knew an English source for the proof that 2g = [L:Q] ([D:L])^{1/2}, where g is the genus, D is the endomorphism ring tensored with Q, the rationals, and L is the center of D.

Learn French.

I do not mean this as a cheeky answer, but in all seriousness, if you are going to do research in Mathematics, learn enough French to be able to read math papers in French. There are lots of essential books and papers in French without translation.
