Supersingular reduction of an elliptic curve

ID: supersingular-reduction-of-an-elliptic-curve

A good reduction in characteristic is supersingular when its geometric -torsion is trivial, equivalently its formal group of an elliptic curve has height two. Good inert primes of a CM elliptic curve are supersingular. The ordinary bounded-measure and torsion-Selmer formulation must then be modified, for instance using signed local conditions in the cyclotomic tower.
