Average Cyclicity for Elliptic Curves in Torsion Families

Number Theory 2021-01-18 v1

Abstract

We prove asymptotic formulas for cyclicity of reductions of elliptic curves over the rationals in a family of curves having specified torsion. These results agree with established conditional results and with average results taken over larger families. As a key tool, we prove an analogue of a result of Vl\u{a}du\c{t} that estimates the number of elliptic curves over a finite field with a specified torsion point and cyclic group structure.
