Abstract

Let K be a number field and let E\mathcal{E} be an elliptic curve defined over KK. Let mm be a positive integer. We denote by K(E[m])K(\mathcal{E}[m]) the number fields obtained by adding to KK the coordinates of the mm-torsion points of E\mathcal{E}. We look for small (sometimes "minimal") set of generators of K(E[m])K(\mathcal{E}[m]). For m=3m=3 and m=4m=4, we describe explicit generators, degree and Galois groups of the extensions K(E[m])/KK(\mathcal{E}[m])/K.
