Helmut Hasse’s theorem is in German [1]. Hasse joined the Nazi Party (NSDAP) the year after it was published, and served as a concentration camp guard during WWII [2].

The number of points on an elliptic curve over a finite field GF(q) is within the range

q + 1 ± 2√q,

that is to say, of all q2 points (x,y) ∈ GF(q) ⨉ GF(q), the number of them that satisfy any given elliptic curve equation y2 = x3 + ax + b always falls in this range.

For “hyperelliptic” curves or other Abelian varieties of genus g > 1, Hasse’s theorem is still applicable when the permissible range is broadened by a factor of g:

q + 1 ± 2gq.

This result was proved by André Weil, and is known as the Hasse–Weil theorem [3][4].
