Torsion of Rational Elliptic Curves over the Cyclotomic Extensions of ℚ
Speakers
Details
Let E be an elliptic curve defined over ℚ. Let p > 3 be a prime such that p - 1 is not divisible by 3, 4, 5, 7, 11. In this article, we classify the groups that can arise as E(ℚ(ζp))tors up to isomorphism. The method illustrates techniques for eliminating possible structures that can appear as a subgroup of E(ℚab)tors.
