Abstract

We show there exist polynomial bounds on torsion of elliptic curves which come from a fixed geometric isogeny class. More precisely, for an elliptic curve E0E_0 defined over a number field F0F_0, for each ϵ>0\epsilon>0 there exist constants cϵ:=cϵ(E0,F0),Cϵ:=Cϵ(E0,F0)>0c_\epsilon:=c_\epsilon(E_0,F_0),C_\epsilon:=C_\epsilon(E_0,F_0)>0 such that for any elliptic curve E/FE_{/F} geometrically isogenous to E0E_0, if E(F)E(F) has a point of order NN then Ncϵ[F:Q]1/2+ϵ, N\leq c_\epsilon\cdot [F:\mathbb{Q}]^{1/2+\epsilon}, and one also has #E(F)[tors]Cϵ[F:Q]1+ϵ. \# E(F)[\textrm{tors}] \leq C_\epsilon\cdot [F:\mathbb{Q}]^{1+\epsilon}.

8 pages. Improves the bounds in Theorem 1, and strengthens an additional result (which is now Corollary 4 for adelic indices)
