Abstract
Let be a number field and let be an elliptic curve whose mod Galois representation locally has image contained in a group , up to conjugacy. We classify the possible images for the global Galois representation in the case where is a Cartan subgroup or the normalizer of a Cartan subgroup. When , we deduce a counterexample to the local-global principle in the case where is the normalizer of a split Cartan and . In particular, there are at least three elliptic curves (up to twist) over whose mod image of Galois is locally contained in the normalizer of a split Cartan, but whose global image is not.
