Complex Multiplication Structure of Elliptic Curves

Complex Multiplication Structure of Elliptic Curves

Let k be a finite field and let E be an elliptic curve over k. In this paper we describe, for each finite extension l of k, the structure of the group E(l) of points of E over l as a module over the ring R of endomorphisms of E that are defined over k. If the Frobenius endomorphism ? of E over k does not belong to the subring Z of R, then we find that E(l)$R R(?&1), where n is the degree of l o...

Complex Multiplication Tests for Elliptic Curves

We consider the problem of checking whether an elliptic curve defined over a given number field has complex multiplication. We study two polynomial time algorithms for this problem, one randomized and the other deterministic. The randomized algorithm can be adapted to yield the discriminant of the endomorphism ring of the curve.

On Primitive Points of Elliptic Curves with Complex Multiplication

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q and P ∈ E(Q) a rational point of infinite order. Suppose that E has complex multiplication by an order in the quadratic imaginary field k. Denote by ME,P the set of rational primes ` such that ` splits in k, E has good reduction at `, and P is a primitive point modulo `. Under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we can determine the positivity of the de...
