Abstract
Let be an elliptic curve defined over . In 1976, Lang and Trotter conjectured an asymptotic formula for the number of primes of good reduction for which the Frobenius trace at associated to is equal to a given fixed integer . We investigate elliptic curves over that have a missing Frobenius trace, i.e. for which the counting function remains bounded as , for some . In particular, we classify all elliptic curves over that have a missing Frobenius trace.
