Abstract

Let E1,E2/CE_1, E_2 / \mathbb{C} be non-isomorphic elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We prove that the pair (E1,E2)(E_1, E_2) is characterised, up to isomorphism, by the difference j(E1)j(E2)j(E_1) - j(E_2) of the respective jj-invariants. In other words, we show that if x1,x2,x3,x4x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4 are singular moduli such that x1x2=x3x4x_1 - x_2 = x_3 - x_4, then either (x1,x2)=(x3,x4)(x_1, x_2) = (x_3, x_4) or (x1,x3)=(x2,x4)(x_1, x_3) = (x_2, x_4).
