Let be a genus one curve over an algebraically closed field and choose . The mapis an isomorphism. For a degree-zero divisor , Riemann--Roch gives a nonzero section of , so for some point . If with , a rational function with divisor would give a degree-one map to the projective line, contradicting that has genus one. The Abel--Jacobi map transports addition in the divisor class group to the elliptic-curve group law.
