Abstract: We consider the question of which quadratic fields have elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. By revisiting work of Setzer, we expand on congruence conditions that determine the real and imaginary quadratic fields with elliptic curves of everywhere good reduction and rational j-invariant. Using this, we determine the density of such real and imaginary quadratic fields. If R(X) (respectively I(X)) denotes the number of real (respectively imaginary) quadratic fields K=mathbbQ[sqrtm] such that |DeltaK|<X and for which there exists an elliptic curve E/K with rational j-invariant that has everywhere good reduction, then R(X)ggfracXsqrtlog(X). To obtain these estimates we explicitly construct quadratic fields over which we can construct elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. The estimates then follow from elementary multiplicative number theory. In addition, we obtain infinite families of real and imaginary quadratic fields such that there are no elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction over these fields.


It is a well-known result that over \(\mathbb{Q}\) there are no elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. However, the same is not true over general number fields. In this paper, the authors consider the question for which quadratic fields there exist elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction. They obtain congruence conditions that determine the real and imaginary quadratic fields with elliptic curves of everywhere good reduction and rational \(j\)-invariant. Using this, they determine the density of such real and imaginary quadratic fields. They also obtain infinite families of real and imaginary quadratic fields such that there are no elliptic curves with everywhere good reduction over these fields.
