Torsion primes for elliptic curves over degree 8 number fields

Number Theory 2024-05-02 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

Let d1d\geq 1 be an integer and let pp be a rational prime. Recall that pp is a torsion prime of degree dd if there exists an elliptic curve EE over a degree dd number field KK such that EE has a KK-rational point of order pp. Derickx, Kamienny, Stein and Stoll have computed the torsion primes of degrees 4, 5, 6 and 7; we verify that these techniques can be extended to determine the torsion primes of degree 8.
