On elliptic curves with $p$-isogenies over quadratic fields

Abstract

Let KK be a number field. For which primes pp does there exist an elliptic curve E/KE / K admitting a KK-rational pp-isogeny? Although we have an answer to this question over the rationals, extending this to other number fields is a fundamental open problem in number theory. In this paper, we study this question in the case that KK is a quadratic field, subject to the assumption that EE is semistable at the primes of KK above pp. We prove results both for families of quadratic fields and for specific quadratic fields.
