Abstract: Given a complex quasiprojective curve $B$ and a non-isotrivial family $mathcalE$ of elliptic curves over $B$, the $p$-torsion $mathcalE[p]$ yields a monodromy representation $h{o}_{m}athcalE[p]:p{i}_1(B)ightarrowmathrm{GL}_2(mathbb{F}_p)$. We prove that if $h{o}_{mathcalE}[p]congh{o}_{mathcal{E}^{\prime }}[p]$ then $mathcalE$ and $mathcal{E}^{\prime }$ are isogenous, provided $p$ is larger than a constant depending only on the gonality of $B$. This can be viewed as a function field analog of the Frey--Mazur conjecture, which states that an elliptic curve over $mathbbQ$ is determined up to isogeny by its $p$-torsion Galois representation for $p>17$. The proof relies on hyperbolic geometry and is therefore only applicable in characteristic 0.
