Let XX be a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field kk.

State the Riemann-Roch theorem, briefly defining all the terms that appear.

Now suppose XX has genus 1 , and let PXP_{\infty} \in X.

Compute L(nP)\mathcal{L}\left(n P_{\infty}\right) for n6n \leqslant 6. Show that ϕ3P\phi_{3 P_{\infty}} defines an isomorphism of XX with a smooth plane curve in P2\mathbb{P}^{2} which is defined by a polynomial of degree 3 .
