%0 Journal Article %T Period and index of genus one curves over number fields %A Shahed Sharif %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X The period of a curve is the smallest positive degree of Galois-invariant divisor classes. The index is the smallest positive degree of rational divisors. We construct examples of genus one curves with prescribed period and index over certain number fields. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0810.5760v1
