Elliptic curves with surjective adelic Galois representations

Abstract

We prove useful necessary and sufficient conditions for an elliptic curve over a number field to admit a surjective adelic Galois representation. Using these conditions, we compute an example of a number field K and an elliptic curve E/K whose corresponding adelic representation is surjective.
