On Twists of the Modular Curves X(p)

On Twists of the Modular Curves X(p) Abstract Let p > 2 be a prime, and let k be a field of characteristic zero, linearly disjoint from the pth cyclotomic extension of Q. Given a projective Galois representation Gal(k¯/k)→PGL2(Fp) with cyclotomic determinant, two twists Xϱ(p) and X′ϱ(p) of a certain rational model of the modular curve X(p) can be attached to it. The k-rational points of these twists classify the elliptic curves E/k such that ρ¯E,p=ρ, where ρ¯E,p denotes the projective Galois representation associated with the p-torsion module E[p]. The octahedral (p = 3) and icosahedral (p = 5) genus-zero cases are discussed in further detail. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 11G05, 14G05, 11R32. © London Mathematical Society http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Bulletin of the London Mathematical Society Oxford University Press

Abstract

Abstract Let p > 2 be a prime, and let k be a field of characteristic zero, linearly disjoint from the pth cyclotomic extension of Q. Given a projective Galois representation Gal(k¯/k)→PGL2(Fp) with cyclotomic determinant, two twists Xϱ(p) and X′ϱ(p) of a certain rational model of the modular curve X(p) can be attached to it. The k-rational points of these twists classify the elliptic curves E/k such that ρ¯E,p=ρ, where ρ¯E,p denotes the projective Galois representation associated with the p-torsion module E[p]. The octahedral (p = 3) and icosahedral (p = 5) genus-zero cases are discussed in further detail. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification 11G05, 14G05, 11R32. © London Mathematical Society
