Abstract: Let E be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over Q. For each prime p of good reduction, E reduces to a curve E_p over the finite field F_p. For a given squarefree polynomial f(x,y), we examine the sequences f_p(E) := f(a_p(E), p), whose values are associated with the reduction of E over F_p. We are particularly interested in two sequences: f_p(E) =p + 1 - a_p(E) and f_p(E) = a_p(E)^2 - 4p. We present two results towards the goal of determining how often the values in a given sequence are squarefree. First, for any fixed curve E, we give an upper bound for the number of primes p up to X for which f_p(E) is squarefree. Moreover, we show that the conjectural asymptotic for the prime counting function pi_{E,f}^{SF}(X) := #{p leq X: f_p(E) is squarefree} is consistent with the asymptotic for the average over curves E in a suitable box.
