On fields of definition of torsion points of elliptic curves with complex multiplication

For any elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rationals with complex multiplication (CM) and for every prime $p$, we describe the image of the mod $ p$ Galois representation attached to $E$. We deduce information about the field of definition of torsion points of these curves; in particular, we classi...

Description
Summary:For any elliptic curve $E$ defined over the rationals with complex multiplication (CM) and for every prime $p$, we describe the image of the mod $ p$ Galois representation attached to $E$. We deduce information about the field of definition of torsion points of these curves; in particular, we classify all cases where there are torsion points over Galois number fields not containing the field of definition of the CM.
