Abstract: Given an elliptic curve E without complex multiplication defined over a number field K, consider the image of the Galois representation defined by letting Galois act on the torsion of E. Serre's open image theorem implies that there is a positive integer m for which the Galois image is completely determined by its reduction modulo m. In this note, we prove a bound on the smallest such m in terms of standard invariants associated with E. The bound is sharp and improves upon previous results.
