Abstract

Let $E/\Q$ be an elliptic curve and let $\widetilde K_p$ be the compositum of all $\Z_p$-extensions of a quadratic field $K$. We prove that $E(\widetilde K_p)_{\tors}=E(K)_{\tors}$ for $p\geq5$. For $p=3$ and imaginary quadratic $K\neq\Q(\sqrt{-3})$, torsion on each extension is determined by its intersections with the cyclotomic extension and the $2$-division field. Over $\Q(\sqrt{-3})$, we construct infinitely many non-CM curves with full $3$-torsion in the first anticyclotomic layer and compute the $3$-primary torsion on every slope for eight CM curves. For $p=2$, we bound the odd-primary torsion and exclude all primes greater than $7$. We also give uniform bounds for non-CM primary torsion and correct two assertions in Li's preprint about noncyclotomic $\Z_3$-extensions.

Fields of definition of $p$-torsion points of elliptic curves and their ramification

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We study the field $\mathbb{Q}_p(E[p])$ generated by the $p$-torsion points of $E$. When $E$ has good reduction, we determine not only $\mathbb{Q}_p(E[p])$ but also the field $\mathbb{Q}_p(P)$ for every point $P\in E[p]$. This classification yields criteria for the exis...

$p$-adic properties of division polynomials and algebraic sigma functions

Let $p \geq 5$ be a prime, let $K$ be a finite extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $E/K$ be an elliptic curve with good reduction. Let $F_n$ denote the $n$-division polynomial of $E$. Silverman proved that if the reduction is ordinary, then for every $P \in E(K) \setminus \hat{E}(K)$ and a suitable power $q$ of $p$, t...

Uniform non-vanishing of prime quadratic twists of standard and symmetric square $L$-functions

Let $S_k$ be the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ for ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, with $\dim S_k\geq1$, and let $\chi_p=\left(\frac{\cdot}{p}\right)$ for odd primes $p$. For fixed $s$ with ${\rm Re}(s)>(k+1)/2$, we prove that the proportion of primes $p\leq X$ satisfying $L(h,\chi_p,s)=0$ tends to zero as $X\to\infty$, u...

Mild p-Class Tower Groups of Imaginary Quadratic Fields

Let $K$ be an imaginary quadratic number field, let $p$ be an odd prime, and let $G=G_{\varnothing}(K)(p)$ be the Galois group of the maximal everywhere unramified pro-$p$ extension of $K$. To each mod-$p$ character $x$ of $G$ we associate a linear map $D_x$ from $\mathrm{Cl}(K)[p]$ to $\mathrm{Cl}(K)/p$; a formula of...

New algebraic points on covers of elliptic curves

For a smooth projective curve $C/\mathbb{Q}$ of genus $\geq 2$ and $L/\mathbb{Q}$ an extension, we write $C(L)_{\text{new}}=\{P\in C(L):\mathbb{Q}(P)=L\}$. Recent work of Khawaja and Siksek conjectures that this set is empty for $100\%$ of degree $n$ number fields $L$, when ordered by absolute discriminant. Moreover, t...

Experiments on $3$-isogeny Selmer groups of elliptic curves with a $3$-torsion point

Let $E_{A,B}\colon y^2 +Axy + By = x^3$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. The $3$-torsion point $(0,0)$ induces a $3$-isogeny $\phi\colon E_{A,B}\to E_{A,B}'$. Assuming $E_{A,B}$ has good reduction at $3$, we construct an explicit $(m+t)\times m$ matrix $M_{A,B}'$ over $\mathbb{F}_3$, whose kernel encodes the dua...
