Abstract

Let p,q,lp,q,l be three distinct prime numbers and let NN be a positive integer coprime to pqlpql. For an integer n0n\ge 0, we define the directed graph Xlq(pnN)X_l^q(p^nN) whose vertices are given by isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over a finite field of characteristic qq equipped with a level pnNp^nN structure. The edges of Xlq(pnN)X_l^q(p^nN) are given by ll-isogenies. We are interested in when the connected components of Xlq(pnN)X_l^q(p^nN) give rise to a tower of Galois covers as nn varies. We show that only in the supersingular case we do get a tower of Galois covers. We also study similar towers of isogeny graphs given by oriented supersingular curves, as introduced by Col\`o-Kohel, enhanced with a level structure.
