چکیده
We prove two “large images” results for the Galois representations attached to a degree d Q-curve E over a quadratic field K: if K is arbitrary, we prove maximality of the image for every prime p > 13 not dividing d, provided that d is divisible by q (but d 6= q) with q = 2 or 3 or 5 or 7 or 13. If K is real we prove maximality of the image for every odd prime p not dividing dD, where D = disc(K), provided that E is a semistable Q-curve. In both cases we make the (standard) assumptions that E does not have potentially good reduction at all primes p ∤ 6 and that d is square-free. 1 Semistable Q-curves over real quadratic fields Let K be a quadratic field, and let E be a degree d Q-curve defined over K. Let D = disc(K). Assume that E is semistable, i.e., that E has good or semistable reduction at every finite place β ofK. Recall that we can attach to E a compatible family of Galois representations {σλ} of the absolute Galois group of Q: these representations can be seen as those attached to the Weil restriction A of E to Q, which is an abelian surface with real multiplication by F := Q( √ ±d) (cf. [E]). Let us call U the set of primes dividing D. For primes not in U , it is clear that A is also semistable, so in particular for supported by BFM2003-06092 supported by a MECD postdoctoral grant at the Centre de Recerca Matemática from Ministerio de Educación y Cultura

Teichmüller Curves , Galois Actions and Ĝt - Relations
Teichmüller curves are geodesic discs in Teichmüller space that project to algebraic curves C in the moduli space Mg. Some Teichmüller curves can be considered as components of Hurwitz spaces. We show that the absolute Galois group G Q acts faithfully on the set of these embedded curves. We also compare the action of G Q on π1(C) with the one on π1(Mg) and obtain a relation in the Grothendieck-...
متن کاملAn Explicit Jacobian of Dimension 3 with Maximal Galois Action
We gives an explicit genus 3 curve over Q such that the Galois action on the torsion points of its Jacobian is a large as possible. That such curves exist is a consequence of a theorem of D. Zureick-Brown and the author; however, those methods do not produce explicit examples. We shall apply the general strategies of Hall and Serre in their open image theorems. We also make use of Serre’s conje...
متن کاملQ-curves and Galois representations
Let K be a number field, Galois over Q. A Q-curve over K is an elliptic curve over K which is isogenous to all its Galois conjugates. The current interest in Q-curves, it is fair to say, began with Ribet’s observation [27] that an elliptic curve over Q̄ admitting a dominant morphism from X1(N) must be a Q-curve. It is then natural to conjecture that, in fact, all Q-curves are covered by modular ...
متن کاملElliptic Curves over Q and 2-adic Images of Galois
We give a classification of all possible 2-adic images of Galois representations associated to elliptic curves over Q. To this end, we compute the ‘arithmetically maximal’ tower of 2-power level modular curves, develop techniques to compute their equations, and classify the rational points on these curves.
متن کاملModular Curves of Prime-power Level with Infinitely Many Rational Points
For each open subgroup G of GL2(Ẑ) containing −I with full determinant, let XG/Q denote the modular curve that loosely parametrizes elliptic curves whose Galois representation, which arises from the Galois action on its torsion points, has image contained in G. Up to conjugacy, we determine a complete list of the 248 such groups G of prime power level for which XG(Q) is infinite. For each G, we...
