Riemann Roch: structure of genus 1 curves

This talk is about the Riemann Roch theorem in the spacial case of genus 1 curves or Riemann surface. We show that a compact Riemann surface
satisfying the Riemann Roch theorem for g=1 is isomorphic to a nonsingular plane cubic. We show that this is topologically a torus, and use this to show that it can be represented as C/L for a lattice.

This video is based on a discussion section of an online algebraic geometry course.
