On dependence of rational points on elliptic curves

Publication date 16 December 2016

Abstract: Let

E

be an elliptic curve defined over

m a t h b b Q

. Let

G a m m a

be a subgroup of

E (m a t h b b Q)

and

P i n E (m a t h b b Q)

. In [1], it was proved that if

E

has no nontrivial rational torsion points, then

P i n G a m m a

if and only if

P i n G a m m a

mod

p

for finitely many primes

p

. In this note, assuming the General Riemann Hypothesis, we provide an explicit upper bound on these primes when

E

does not have complex multiplication and either

E

is a semistable curve or

E

has no exceptional prime.
