An Algorithm for Determining Torsion Growth of Elliptic Curves

We present a fast algorithm that takes as input an elliptic curve defined over Q and an integer d and returns all the number fields K of degree d' dividing d such that E(K)tors contains E(F)tors as a proper subgroup, for all F⊈K. We ran this algorithm on all elliptic curves of conductor less th...

Sumario:We present a fast algorithm that takes as input an elliptic curve defined over Q and an integer d and returns all the number fields K of degree d' dividing d such that E(K)tors contains E(F)tors as a proper subgroup, for all F⊈K. We ran this algorithm on all elliptic curves of conductor less than 400.000 (a total of 2.483.649 curves) and all d≤23 and collected various interesting data. In particular, we find a degree 6 sporadic point on X1(4,12), which is so far the lowest known degree a sporadic point on X1(m,n), for m≥2
