Abstract: We consider the problem of classifying quadruples (K,E,m1,m2) where K is a number field, E is an elliptic curve defined over K and (m1,m2) is a pair of relatively prime positive integers for which the intersection K(E[m1])capK(E[m2]) is a non-abelian extension of K. There is an infinite set mathcalS of modular curves whose K-rational points capture all elliptic curves over K without complex multiplication that have this property. Our main theorem explicitly describes the (finite) subset of mathcalS consisting of those modular curves having genus zero. In the case K=mathbbQ, this has applications to the problem of determining when the Galois representation on the torsion of E is as large as possible modulo a prescribed obstruction; we illustrate this application with a specific example.
