Class group statistics for torsion fields generated by elliptic curves
Abstract
For a prime and a rational elliptic curve , set to denote the torsion field generated by . The class group is a module over . Given a fixed odd prime number , we study the average non-vanishing of certain Galois stable quotients of the mod- class group . Here, varies over rational elliptic curves, ordered according to \emph{height}. Our results are conditional and rely on predictions made by Delaunay and Poonen-Rains for the statistical variation of the -primary parts of Tate-Shafarevich groups of elliptic curves. We also prove results in the case when the elliptic curve is fixed and the prime is allowed to vary.
