Elliptic curves with complex multiplication and {u039B}-structures

This thesis examines the relationship between elliptic curves with complex multiplication and Lambda structures. Our main result is to show that the moduli stack of elliptic curves with complex multiplication, and the universal elliptic curve with complex multiplication over it, both admit Lambda structures and that the structure morphism is a Lambda morphism. This implies that elliptic curves with complex multiplication can be canonically lifted to the Witt vectors of the base (these are big and global Witt vectors). We also show that elliptic curves with complex multiplication of Shimura type are precisely those admitting Lambda structures. Along the way, we present a detailed study of families of elliptic curves with complex multiplication over arbitrary bases, give new derivations of the local reciprocity map and the global reciprocity map associated to an imaginary quadratic field and exhibit, construct a new flat, affine and pro-smooth rigidification of the moduli stack of elliptic curves with complex mulitplication and exibit a relationship between perfect Lambda schemes and periods, both p-adic and analytic.
