Abstract
We consider the local-global principle for divisibility in the Mordell-Weil group of a CM elliptic curve defined over a number field. For each prime we give sharp lower bounds on the degree of a number field over which there exists a CM elliptic curve which gives a counterexample to the local-global principle for divisibility by a power of . As a corollary we deduce that there are at most finitely many elliptic curves (with or without CM) which are counterexamples with . We also deduce that the local-global principle for divisibility by powers of holds over quadratic fields.
