Elliptic Curves with Maximal Galois Action on Their Torsion Points
Given an elliptic curve E over a number field k, the Galois action on the torsion points of E induces a Galois representation, ρE : Gal(k/k) → GL2(b Z). For a fixed number field k, we describe the image of ρE for a “random” elliptic curve E over k. In particular, if k 6= Q is linearly disjoint from the cyclotomic extension of Q, then ρE will be surjective for “most” elliptic curves over k.
متن کاملGalois Theory and Torsion Points on Curves
We begin with a brief history of the problem of determining the set of points of a curve that map to torsion points of the curve’s Jacobian. Let K be a number field, and suppose that X/K is an algebraic curve of genus g ≥ 2. Assume, furthermore, that X is embedded in its Jacobian variety J via a K-rational Albanese map i; thus there is a K-rational divisor D of degree one on X such that i = iD ...
متن کاملTorsion Points of Elliptic Curves
Elliptic curves as an area of mathematical study are initially simple to understand, but reveal startling complexity when considered over different fields. This paper discusses the general properties and characteristics of projective space, elliptic curves, and the group structure that arises with certain binary operations on the curve. We discuss elliptic curves over Q, including the topic of ...
متن کاملElliptic curves with full 2-torsion and maximal adelic Galois representations
In 1972, Serre showed that the adelic Galois representation associated to a non-CM elliptic curve over a number field has open image in GL2(Ẑ). In [Gre10], Greicius develops necessary and sufficient criteria for determining when this representation is actually surjective and exhibits such an example. However, verifying these criteria turns out to be difficult in practice; Greicius describes tes...
متن کاملTorsion Points on Elliptic Curves with Complex Multiplication
i.e., the supremum of all orders of torsion points on elliptic curves defined over some degree d number field. Write T (d)′ for the set of prime divisors of elements of Td, and P (d) for the largest element of T (d)′. Let TCM(d) (resp. TIM(d)) be the subset of T (d) corresponding to elliptic curves with complex multiplication (resp. with algebraic integral modulus j(E)), and similarly adding th...
