Abstract

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field of discriminant dKd_K with ring of integers OK\mathcal{O}_K. When KK is different from Q(1)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1}) and Q(3)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-3}), we consider a certain specific model for the elliptic curve EKE_K with j(EK)=j(OK)j(E_K)=j(\mathcal{O}_K) which is defined over Q(j(EK))\mathbb{Q}(j(E_K)). In this paper, for each positive integer NN we compare the extension field of Q\mathbb{Q} generated by the coordinates of NN-torsion points on EKE_K with the ray class field K(N)K_{(N)} of KK modulo NOKN\mathcal{O}_K. By using this result we investigate the image of a pp-adic Galois representation attached to EKE_K for a prime pp, in terms of class field theory. Second, we construct the definite form class group of discriminant dKd_K and level NN which is isomorphic to Gal(K(N)/Q)\mathrm{Gal}(K_{(N)}/\mathbb{Q}).
