Edwards curves and Gaussian hypergeometric series

Abstract: Let

E

be an elliptic curve described by either an Edwards model or a twisted Edwards model over

m a t h b b F_{p}

, namely,

E

is defined by one of the following equations

x^{2} + y^{2} = a^{2} (1 + x^{2} y^{2}),, a^{5} - a o t e q u i v 0

mod

p

, or,

a x^{2} + y^{2} = 1 + d x^{2} y^{2},, a d (a - d) o t e q u i v 0

mod

p

, respectively. We express the number of rational points of

E

over

m a t h b b F_{p}

using the Gaussian hypergeometric series

where

e p s i l o n

and

p h i

are the trivial and quadratic characters over

m a t h b b F_{p}

respectively. This enables us to evaluate

| E (m a t h b b F_{p}) |

for some elliptic curves

E

, and prove the existence of isogenies between

E

and Legendre elliptic curves over

m a t h b b F_{p}

.
