Abstract · v1

We determine all the groups that appear as the torsion group of an elliptic curve over a number field of degree 66. Apart from the 4444 groups that occur infinitely often, which were determined by Derickx and Sutherland, exactly four groups occur: Z/25Z\mathbb{Z}/25\mathbb{Z}, Z/37Z\mathbb{Z}/37\mathbb{Z}, Z/4Z×Z/12Z\mathbb{Z}/4\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/12\mathbb{Z} and Z/2Z×Z/24Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/24\mathbb{Z}. The first three were known to occur, while the group Z/2Z×Z/24Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/24\mathbb{Z} is new. We also show that, up to isomorphism, each of the groups Z/37Z\mathbb{Z}/37\mathbb{Z} and Z/2Z×Z/24Z\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\times\mathbb{Z}/24\mathbb{Z} 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 22 which uses the Cartier operator, and arguments with several diamond operators and with cuspidal divisor classes on quotients of modular curves.
