Abstract
One of the many interesting algebraic objects associated to a given rational elliptic curve, , is its full-torsion representation . Generalizing this idea, one can create another full-torsion Galois representation, associated to a pair of rational elliptic curves. The goal of this paper is to provide an infinite number of concrete examples of pairs of elliptic curves whose associated full-torsion Galois representation has maximal image. The size of the image is inversely related to the size of the intersection of various division fields defined by and . The representation has maximal image when these division fields are maximally disjoint, and most of the paper is devoted to studying these intersections.
