Abstract

We study Galois embedding problems arising from the 3-torsion of elliptic curves defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, extending the correspondence to all possible images of mod 3 Galois representations; namely, GL2(F3),SD16,D6,D4\operatorname{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_3),SD_{16},D_6,D_4 and C22C_2^2. In the cyclotomic case, we show that solvability of these embedding problems is equivalent to the existence of infinitely many elliptic curves whose 3-division fields provide the corresponding solutions.
