چکیده
For an optimal elliptic curve E over Fq(t) of conductor p·∞, where p is prime, we show that E(F )tor is generated by the image of the cuspidal divisor group.

Ranks of Elliptic Curves with Prescribed Torsion over Number Fields
We study the structure of the Mordell–Weil group of elliptic curves over number fields of degree 2, 3, and 4. We show that if T is a group, then either the class of all elliptic curves over quadratic fields with torsion subgroup T is empty, or it contains curves of rank 0 as well as curves of positive rank. We prove a similar but slightly weaker result for cubic and quartic fields. On the other...
متن کاملFamilies of elliptic curves over quartic number fields with prescribed torsion subgroups
We construct infinite families of elliptic curves with given torsion group structures over quartic number fields. In a 2006 paper, the first two authors and Park determined all of the group structures which occur infinitely often as the torsion of elliptic curves over quartic number fields. Our result presents explicit examples of their theoretical result. This paper also presents an efficient ...
متن کاملTORSION OF RATIONAL ELLIPTIC CURVES OVER CUBIC FIELDS AND SPORADIC POINTS ON X1(n)
We classify the possible torsion structures of rational elliptic curves over cubic fields. Along the way we find a previously unknown torsion structure over a cubic field, Z/21Z, which corresponds to a sporadic point on X1(21) of degree 3, which is the lowest possible degree of a sporadic point on a modular curve X1(n).

In this paper we construct infinite families of elliptic curves with given torsion group structures over cubic number fields. This result provides explicit examples of the theoretical result recently developed by the first two authors and A. Schweizer; they determined all the group structures which occur infinitely often as the torsion of elliptic curves over cubic number fields. In fact, this ...
متن کاملTorsion of elliptic curves over cubic fields
Although it is not known which groups can appear as torsion groups of elliptic curves over cubic number fields, it is known which groups can appear for infinitely many non-isomorphic curves. We denote the set of these groups as S. In this paper we deal with three problems concerning the torsion of elliptic curves over cubic fields. First, we study the possible torsion groups of elliptic curves ...
