Classification of torsion of elliptic curves over sextic fields
Abstract · v1
We determine all the groups that appear as the torsion group of an elliptic curve over a number field of degree . Apart from the groups that occur infinitely often, which were determined by Derickx and Sutherland, exactly four groups occur: , , and . The first three were known to occur, while the group is new. We also show that, up to isomorphism, each of the groups and is the torsion group of a single elliptic curve over a single sextic field. The methods build on those developed by Derickx and Najman for quartic fields and by the author for quintic fields. Among the new ingredients are a formal immersion criterion at the prime which uses the Cartier operator, and arguments with several diamond operators and with cuspidal divisor classes on quotients of modular curves.
