Elliptic curves over global fields (11G05) Elliptic curves (14H52)

Abstract: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $mathbbQ$, and let $h{o}_{E}colonmGal(overlinemathbbQ/mathbbQ)omGL(2,widehatmathbbZ)$ be the adelic representation associated to the natural action of Galois on the torsion points of $E(overlinemathbbQ)$. By a theorem of Serre, the image of $h{o}_E$ is open, but the image is always of index at least $2$ in $mGL(2,widehatmathbbZ)$ due to a certain quadratic entanglement amongst division fields. In this paper, we study other types of abelian entanglements. More concretely, we classify the elliptic curves $E/mathbbQ$, and primes $p$ and $q$ such that $mathbbQ(E[p])capmathbbQ(zet{a}_{q^k})$ is non-trivial, and determine the degree of the coincidence. As a consequence, we classify all elliptic curves $E/mathbbQ$ and integers $m,n$ such that the $m$-th and $n$-th division fields coincide, i.e., when $mathbbQ(E[n])=mathbbQ(E[m])$, when the division field is abelian.
