Abstract

We obtain asymptotic formulae for the number of primes pxp\le x for which the reduction modulo pp of the elliptic curve \Ea,b:Y2=X3+aX+b \E_{a,b} : Y^2 = X^3 + aX + b satisfies certain ``natural'' properties, on average over integers aa and bb with aA|a|\le A and bB|b| \le B, where AA and BB are small relative to xx. Specifically, we investigate behavior with respect to the Sato--Tate conjecture, cyclicity, and divisibility of the number of points by a fixed integer mm.
