Abstract: Given a number field F0 which contains no Hilbert class field of any imaginary quadratic field, we show that under GRH there exists an effectively computable constant B:=B(F0)inmathbbZ+ for which the following holds: for any finite extension L/F0 whose degree [L:F0] is coprime to B, one has for all elliptic curves E/F0 that the L-rational torsion subgroup E(L)[extrmtors]=E(F0)[extrmtors]. This generalizes a previous result of Gonz'{a}lez-Jim'{e}nez and Najman over F0=mathbbQ. Towards showing this, we also prove a result on relative uniform divisibility of the index of a mod-ell Galois representation of an elliptic curve over F0. Additionally, we show that the main result's conclusion fails when we allow F0 to have rationally defined CM, due to the existence of F0-rational isogenies of arbitrarily large prime degrees satisfying certain congruency conditions.
