Abstract

Let E\mathcal{E} be a Q\mathbb{Q}-isogeny class of elliptic curves defined over Q\mathbb{Q}. The isogeny graph associated to E\mathcal{E} is a graph which has a vertex for each elliptic curve in the Q\mathbb{Q}-isogeny class E\mathcal{E}, and an edge for each cyclic Q\mathbb{Q}-isogeny of prime degree between elliptic curves in the isogeny class, with the degree recorded as a label of the edge. In this paper, we define an isogeny-torsion graph to be an isogeny graph where, in addition, we label each vertex with the abstract group structure of the torsion subgroup over Q\mathbb{Q} of the corresponding elliptic curve. Then, the main result of the article is a classification of all the possible isogeny-torsion graphs that occur for Q\mathbb{Q}-isogeny classes of elliptic curves defined over the rationals.
