Abstract

Let EE be an elliptic curve over the rationals. We will consider the infinite extension Q(Etor)\mathbb{Q}(E_{\text{tor}}) of the rationals where we adjoin all coordinates of torsion points of EE. In this paper we will prove an explicit lower bound for the height of non-zero elements in Q(Etor)\mathbb{Q}(E_{\text{tor}}) that are not a root of unity, only depending on the conductor of the elliptic curve. As a side result we will give an explicit bound for a small supersingular prime for an elliptic curve.
