Abstract: Let $A$ be an abelian variety defined over a number field $K$. We say that a point $PinA(overlinemathbbQ)$ is primitive if there is no $QinA(overlinemathbbQ)$ defined on the field of definition of $P$ over $K$ such that $[N]Q=P$ for some positive integer $Nge2$. For any primitive point $PinA(overlinemathbbQ)$, positive integer $N$ and point $QinA(overlinemathbbQ)$ such that $[N]Q=P$, we prove an effective lower bound on the degree of the field of definition of $Q$ over $K$ of the form $N^{delta}$ that depends only on $A,K$ and the degree of the field of definition of $P$ over $K$. The proof is based on the estimates of the degree of torsion points by Masser. We combine this result with a uniform version of Manin-Mumford to prove an effective Unlikely Intersections-type result: if $PinA(overlinemathbbQ)$ is primitive, defined over a field of degree $d$ over $K$, and $X$ is a subvariety of $A$, then $Xcap[N{]}^{-1}P$ is contained in the weakly special part of $X$, provided $N$ is bigger than a suitable power of $d$. As an application, we study an inverse elliptic Fermat equation, analogous to a modular Fermat equation treated by Pila.
