Abstract

Let E\mathcal{E} be an elliptic curve defined over a number field KK. Let mm be a positive integer. We denote by E[m]{\mathcal{E}}[m] the mm-torsion subgroup of E\mathcal{E} and by Km:=K(E[m])K_m:=K({\mathcal{E}}[m]) the number field obtained by adding to KK the coordinates of the points of E[m]{\mathcal{E}}[m]. We describe the fields K5K_5, when E\mathcal{E} is a CM elliptic curve defined over KK, with Weiestrass form either y2=x3+bxy^2=x^3+bx or y2=x3+cy^2=x^3+c. In particular we classify the fields K5K_5 in terms of generators, degrees and Galois groups. Furthermore we show some applications of those results to the Local-Global Divisibility Problem, to modular curves and to Shimura curves.
