Cyclic reduction densities for elliptic curves
Abstract
For an elliptic curve defined over a number field , the heuristic density of the set of primes of for which has cyclic reduction is given by an inclusion-exclusion sum involving the degrees of the -division fields of over . This density can be proved to be correct under assumption of GRH. For without complex multiplication (CM), we show that is the product of an explicit non-negative rational number reflecting the finite entanglement of the division fields of and a universal infinite Artin-type product. For admitting CM over by a quadratic order , we show that admits a similar `factorization' in which the Artin type product also depends on . For admitting CM over by an order , which occurs for , the entanglement of division fields over is non-finite. In this case we write as the sum of two contributions coming from the primes of that are split and inert in . The split contribution can be dealt with by the previous methods, the inert contribution is of a different nature. We determine the ways in which the density can vanish, and provide numerical examples of the different kinds of densities.
