Abstract

Mazur's Theorem states that there are precisely 15 possibilities for the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers. It was previously shown by Harron and Snowden that the number of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves of height up to XX that have a specific torsion subgroup GG is on the order of X1/d(G)X^{1/{d(G)}}, for some positive d(G)d(G) depending on GG. We compute d(G)d(G) for these groups over Q[i]\mathbb{Q}[i]. Furthermore, in a collection of recent papers it was proven that there are 9 more possibilities for the torsion subgroup in the base field Q[i]\mathbb{Q}[i]. We compute the value of d(G)d(G) for these new groups.
