Abstract

Division polynomials associated to an elliptic curve E/KE/K are polynomials ϕn,ψn2\phi_n, \psi_n^2 that arise from the sequence of points {nP}nN\{nP\}_{n \in \mathbb{N}} on this curve. If one wishes to study Z\mathbb{Z}--linear combination of points on E(K)E(K), we can use net polynomials Φv,Ψv2\Phi_{v}, \Psi_{v}^2 which are higher--dimensional analogue of division polynomials. It turns out they are also elliptic nets, an nn--dimensional array with values in KK satisfying the same nonlinear recurrence relation that division polynomials do as well. Now further assume the elliptic curve E/KE/K has complex multiplication by an order of a quadratic imaginary field FKF \subseteq K, we will prove a formula for the common valuation of Φv\Phi_{v} and Ψv2\Psi_{v}^2 associated to multiples of points by elements of an order in FF. As an application, we will use the formula to show that elliptic divisibility sequences associated to multiples of points indexed by elements of an order also satisfy a recurrence relation when indexed by elements of an order, subject to certain conditions on the indices. Additionally, we also expect that the formula may also be used in computing OK\mathcal{O}_K--integral points of an elliptic curve of rank 22 with complex multiplication (this is future work).
