Galois representations for elliptic curves over number fields¶
This file contains the code to compute for which primes the Galois
representation attached to an elliptic curve (over an arbitrary number field)
is surjective. The functions in this file are called by the is_surjective
and non_surjective
methods of an elliptic curve over a number field.
EXAMPLES:
sage: x = polygen(ZZ, 'x')
sage: K = NumberField(x**2 - 29, 'a'); a = K.gen()
sage: E = EllipticCurve([1, 0, ((5 + a)/2)**2, 0, 0])
sage: rho = E.galois_representation()
sage: rho.is_surjective(29) # Cyclotomic character not surjective.
False
sage: rho.is_surjective(31) # See Section 5.10 of [Ser1972].

Compute Billerey’s bound \(B\).
We compute \(B_l\) for \(l\) up to
max_l
(at most) untilnum_l
nonzero values are found (at most). Return the list of primes dividing all \(B_l\) computed, excluding those dividing 6 or ramified or of bad reduction or less than small_prime_bound. If no nonzero values are found return[0]
.INPUT:
E
– an elliptic curve over a number field \(K\), given by a global integral modelmax_l

integer (default: 8); maximum number of primes l to checksmall_prime_bound

Note
The purpose of the small_prime_bound is that it is faster to deal with these using the local test; by ignoring them here, we enable the algorithm to terminate sooner when there are no large reducible primes, which is always the case in practice.

If we do not use enough primes \(l\), extraneous primes will be included which are not reducible primes:

>>> from sage.all import * >>> Billerey_B_bound(E, num_l=Integer(6)) [5, 7]
Billerey_B_bound(E, num_l=6)
Similarly if we do not use large enough primes \(l\):
sage: Billerey_B_bound(E, max_l=50, num_l=8) [5, 7] sage: Billerey_B_bound(E, max_l=100, num_l=8) [5]
>>> from sage.all import * >>> Billerey_B_bound(E, max_l=Integer(50), num_l=Integer(8)) [5, 7] >>> Billerey_B_bound(E, max_l=Integer(100), num_l=Integer(8)) [5]

Determine which primes in L might have an image contained in a Borel subgroup, by checking of traces of Frobenius.
Note
This function will sometimes return primes for which the image is not contained in a Borel subgroup. This issue cannot always be fixed by increasing patience as it may be a result of a failure of a local-global principle for isogenies.

Bases:
SageObject
The compatible family of Galois representation attached to an elliptic curve over a number field.
Given an elliptic curve \(E\) over a number field \(K\) and a rational prime number \(p\), the \(p^n\)-torsion \(E[p^n]\) points of \(E\) is a representation of the absolute Galois group \(G_K\) of \(K\). As \(n\) varies we obtain the Tate module \(T_p E\) which is a representation of \(G_K\) on a free \(\ZZ_p\)-module of rank \(2\). As \(p\) varies the representations are compatible.
