Abstract: Using Mazur's theorem on torsions of elliptic curves, an upper bound 24 for the order of the finite Galois group mathcalH associated with weighted walks in the quarter plane mathbbZ+2 is obtained. The explicit criterion for mathcalH to have order 4 or 6 is rederived by simple geometric argument. Using division polynomials, a recursive criterion for mathcalH having order 4m or 4m+2 is also obtained. As a corollary, explicit criterion for mathcalH to have order 8 is given and is much simpler than the existing method.
