Abstract: Let TmathrmCM(d) denote the maximum size of a torsion subgroup of a CM elliptic curve over a degree d number field. We initiate a systematic study of the asymptotic behavior of TmathrmCM(d) as an "arithmetic function". Whereas a recent result of the last two authors computes the upper order of TmathrmCM(d), here we determine the lower order, the typical order and the average order of TmathrmCM(d) as well as study the number of isomorphism classes of groups G of order TmathrmCM(d) which arise as the torsion subgroup of a CM elliptic curve over a degree d number field. To establish these analytic results we need to extend some prior algebraic results. Especially, if E/F is a CM elliptic curve over a degree d number field, we show that d is divisible by a certain function of , and we give a complete characterization of all degrees d such that every torsion subgroup of a CM elliptic curve defined over a degree d number field already occurs over mathbbQ.
