Abstract: A prime number

p

is said to be irregular if it divides the class number of the

p

-th cyclotomic field

m a t h b b Q (z e t a_{p}) = m a t h b b Q (m a t h b b G_{m} [p])

. In this paper, we study its elliptic analogue for the division fields of an elliptic curve. More precisely, for a prime number

p g e q 5

and a positive integer

n

, we study the

p

-divisibility of the class number of the

p^{n}

-division field

m a t h b b Q (E [p^{n}])

of an elliptic curve

E

of the form

y^{2} = x^{3} - (s^{4} + t^{2}) x

. In particular, we construct a certain infinite subfamily consisting of curves with novel properties that they are of Mordell-Weil rank 1 and the class numbers of their

p^{n}

-division fields are divisible by

p^{2 n}

. Moreover, we can prove that these division fields are not isomorphic to each other. In our construction, we use recent results obtained by the first author.
