Abstract

Let $ E$ be an elliptic curve defined over rational field $Q$ and $N$ be a positive integer. Now $M_E(N)$ denotes the number of primes $p$, such that the group $E_p(F_p)$ is of order $N$. We show that $M_E(N)$ follows Poisson distribution when an average is taken over a large class of curves.
