On elliptic Galois representations and genus-zero modular units
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Given an odd prime p and a representation % of the absolute Galois group of a number field k onto PGL2(Fp) with cyclotomic determinant, the moduli space of elliptic curves defined over k with p-torsion giving rise to % consists of two twists of the modular curve X(p). We make here explicit the only genus-zero cases p = 3 and p = 5, which are also the only symmetric cases: PGL2(Fp) ' Sn for n = 4 or n = 5, respectively. This is done by studying the corresponding twisted Galois actions on the function field of the curve, for which a description in terms of modular units is given. As a consequence of this twisting process, we recover an equivalence between the ellipticity of % and its principality, that is, the existence in its fixed field of an element α of degree n over k such that α and α have both trace zero over k.

Modular Curves of Prime-power Level with Infinitely Many Rational Points
For each open subgroup G of GL2(Ẑ) containing −I with full determinant, let XG/Q denote the modular curve that loosely parametrizes elliptic curves whose Galois representation, which arises from the Galois action on its torsion points, has image contained in G. Up to conjugacy, we determine a complete list of the 248 such groups G of prime power level for which XG(Q) is infinite. For each G, we...
متن کاملGalois-theoretic Characterization of Isomorphism Classes of Monodromically Full Hyperbolic Curves of Genus Zero
Let l be a prime number. In the present paper, we prove that the isomorphism class of an l-monodromically full hyperbolic curve of genus zero over a finitely generated extension of the field of rational numbers is completely determined by the kernel of the natural pro-l outer Galois representation associated to the hyperbolic curve. This result can be regarded as a genus zero analogue of a resu...
متن کاملGalois representations and modular forms
This note is based on a series of lectures given at the summer school held on July 17-29, 2006 at IHES. The purpose of the lectures is to explain the basic ideas in the geometric construction of the Galois representations associated to elliptic modular forms of weight at least 2.

متن کاملExistence of Nonelliptic mod Galois Representations for Every > 5 Luis
In [Shepherd-Barron and Taylor 97] it is shown that for = 3 and 5 every odd, irreducible, two-dimensional Galois representation of Gal(Q̄/Q) with values in F and determinant the cyclotomic character is “elliptic,” i.e., it agrees with the representation given by the action of Gal(Q̄/Q) on the -torsion points of an elliptic curve defined over Q. In this note we will show that this is false for eve...
