The CKKS paper that describes the crypto scheme I'm using is described here: [1]. The paper is decently readable, but frankly I feel that it doesn't really convey much intuition and it's a bit hard to follow if you don't have an algebraic number theory background. Probably the correct thing to do is to read the original BGV paper [2], which is still quite technical of course, but at least doesn't implicitly assume all the development that has happened since then. Once you've gotten the basics, I have an overview that focuses more on the practical aspects of how it works in the documentation [3]. I've also written an overview of how CKKS works, in which I've tried to highlight what the two main ideas of CKKS are compared to earlier schemes [4]. Let me know if you were looking for something else.
