Abstract

Ihara and Birch obtained a formula expressing the sum of powers of the traces of elliptic curves over a fixed finite field of characteristic pp in terms of the traces of Hecke operators for SL2(Z)\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}). Generalizing the theorems of Ihara and Birch, for a finite abelian group AA whose order is coprime to pp, Kaplan and Petrow gave a formula for statistical description of powers of the traces of elliptic curves which contain subgroups isomorphic to AA. In this paper, we generalize the theorems of Ihara, Birch, and Kaplan--Petrow to the case where the order of AA is divisible by pp.
