If an elliptic curve has good reduction over a local field , its integral projective model is smooth. Every point over the residue field lifts by the Hensel lemma, applied in a chart with a unit partial derivative. Thus reduction gives an exact sequence . The kernel of reduction of an elliptic curve is the maximal ideal of the valuation ring, with the formal group of an elliptic curve as its group operation.
