Classification of torsion of elliptic curves over quintic fields
Abstract · v1
We determine all the groups that appear as the torsion group of an elliptic curve over a quintic number field. Apart from the groups that already occur infinitely often, which were determined by Derickx and Sutherland, exactly three groups occur: , and . Up to isomorphism of the pair , the first and the third are each realised by a single elliptic curve and the second by two curves, which are -isogenous over a common quintic field. The curves realising and were found by van Hoeij, while the group is new, and is the smallest degree in which a non-cyclic sporadic torsion group occurs. The methods improve on those developed by Derickx and Najman, and are based on Hecke sieves and the arithmetic of cuspidal divisor classes.
