Poor man's transcendence for Frobenius traces of elliptic curves
Abstract
Let E be an elliptic curve without complex multiplication defined over Q. Viewing the sequence of its Frobenius traces (ap(E))p indexed by primes p as an element in the "poor man's ad\`ele ring", we prove its transcendence over Q.
