Abstract
The main result is to show that if is an imaginary quadratic field and is an elliptic curve over with a torsion point of order 16, then the class number of is divisible by 10. This gives an affirmative answer to a 12 year old question by David Krumm. This is done by setting up a more general framework for studying divisibility of class groups of imaginary quadratic points on hyper-elliptic curves and applying it to .
