Existence of rational parametrization of elliptic curves












1












$begingroup$


I read somewhere that it is not possible to have rational parametrization for elliptic curves. So there is possibility of the existence of rational parametrization for a 'part' of elliptic curve or which may just miss finite number of points on the curve?

    In that case the function field of the curve would be $cong overline{K}(x)$ and its genus would be $0$.

    To expand on @reuns, you can’t get a rational parametrization of even the slightest part of an elliptic curve, so long as that part isn’t finite, of course.
