Entanglement in the family of division fields of elliptic curves with complex multiplication

Francesco Campagna and Riccardo Pengo

Vol. 317 (2022), No. 1, 21–66
Abstract

For every elliptic curve E which has complex multiplication (CM) and is defined over a number field F containing the CM field K, we prove that the family of p-division fields of E, with p prime, becomes linearly disjoint over F after removing an explicit finite subfamily of fields. We then give a necessary condition for this finite subfamily to be entangled over F, which is always met when F = K. In this case, and under the further assumption that the elliptic curve E is obtained as a base-change from , we describe in detail the entanglement in the family of division fields of E.
