AbstractGiven an abelian variety $A$ of dimension $g$ over a number field $K$, and a prime $\ell $, the ${\ell }^{n} $-torsion points of $A$ give rise to a representation ${\rho }_{A, {\ell }^{n} } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ( \mathbb{Z} / {\ell }^{n} \mathbb{Z} )$. In particular, we get a mod-$\ell $representation ${\rho }_{A, \ell } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ({ \mathbb{F} }_{\ell } )$ and an $\ell $-adic representation ${\rho }_{A, {\ell }^{\infty } } : \mathrm{Gal} ( \overline{K} / K)\rightarrow {\mathrm{GL} }_{2g} ({ \mathbb{Z} }_{\ell } )$. In this paper, we describe the possible determinants of subquotients of these two representations. These two lists turn out to be remarkably similar.Applying our results in dimension $g= 1$, we recover a generalized version of a theorem of Momose on isogeny characters of elliptic curves over number fields, and obtain, conditionally on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, a generalization of Mazur’s bound on rational isogenies of prime degree to number fields.

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve over a finite field [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] a prime number different from the characteristic of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we consider the problem of finding the structure of the Tate module [Formula: see text] as an integral Galois representations of [Formula: see text]. We indicate an explicit procedure to solve this problem starting from the characteristic polynomial [Formula: see text] and the [Formula: see text]-invariant [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. Hilbert Class Polynomials of imaginary quadratic orders play an important role here. We give a global application to the study of prime-splitting in torsion fields of elliptic curves over number fields.

In this paper we prove that for every integer [Formula: see text], there exists an explicit constant [Formula: see text] such that the following holds. Let [Formula: see text] be a number field of degree [Formula: see text], let [Formula: see text] be any rational prime that is totally inert in [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] any elliptic curve defined over [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] has potentially multiplicative reduction at the prime [Formula: see text] above [Formula: see text]. Then for every rational prime [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] has an irreducible mod [Formula: see text] Galois representation. This result has Diophantine applications within the “modular method”. We present one such application in the form of an Asymptotic version of Fermat’s Last Theorem that has not been covered in the existing literature.

Arithmetic Surface

Given a non-isotrivial elliptic curve over an arithmetic surface, one obtains a lisse $\ell$-adic sheaf of rank two over the surface. This lisse sheaf has a number of straightforward properties: cyclotomic determinant, finite ramification, rational traces of Frobenius elements, and somewhere not potentially good reduction. We prove that any lisse sheaf of rank two possessing these properties comes from an elliptic curve.
