چکیده
LetN be a square free integer, and let A be an optimal elliptic curve over Q of conductor N . We prove that if A has a rational torsion point of prime order r such that r does not divide 6N , then r divides the order of the cuspidal subgroup of J0(N).

Rational torsion in elliptic curves and the cuspidal subgroup
Let A be an elliptic curve over Q of square free conductor N . Suppose A has a rational torsion point of prime order r such that r does not divide 6N . We prove that then r divides the order of the cuspidal subgroup C of J0(N). If A is optimal, then viewing A as an abelian subvariety of J0(N), our proof shows more precisely that r divides the order of A ∩ C. Also, under the hypotheses above, we...
متن کاملSTRUCTURE OF THE CUSPIDAL RATIONAL TORSION SUBGROUP OF J1(p n)
Let Γ be a congruence subgroup of SL(2,Z). The modular curve X(Γ) and its Jacobian variety J(Γ) are very important objects in number theory. For instance, the problem of determining all possible structures of (Q-)rational torsion subgroup of elliptic curves over Q is equivalent to that of determining whether the modular curves X1(N) have non-cuspidal rational points. Also, the celebrated theore...
متن کاملConjectures Concerning the Orders of the Torsion Subgroup, the Arithmetic Component Groups, and the Cuspidal Subgroup
We make several conjectures concerning the relations between the orders of the torsion subgroup, the arithmetic component groups, and the cuspidal subgroup of an optimal elliptic curve. These conjectures have implications for the second part of the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.

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.
متن کاملCounting Elliptic Curves with Prescribed Torsion
Mazur’s theorem states that there are exactly 15 possibilities for the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve over the rational numbers. We determine how often each of these groups actually occurs. Precisely, if G is one of these 15 groups, we show that the number of elliptic curves up to height X whose torsion subgroup is isomorphic to G is on the order of X, for some number d = d(G) which we c...
