Computing with necklaces on elliptic curves

Number Theory 2026-05-29 v3

Abstract

We present computational algorithms to work with points on the modular curve associated to the normaliser of a non-split Cartan group of prime level pp. Rather than working with explicit equations, we represent these points using the moduli interpretation of necklaces in the pp-torsion of elliptic curves. We use our methods to investigate for which primes p\ell\neq p two rational points with complex multiplication can have equal reduction modulo \ell.
