Models of elliptic curves with maximal 2-adic image subject to a rational 2-isogeny ( Roberto Hernandez, UC Irvine)
November 3 @ 12:15 pm - 1:10 pm
Let $E$ be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We present models of curves that have 2-adic image as large as possible, given the constraint that they have a rational 2-isogeny. These curves are known to be generic, and one of the aims of this article is to make that fact explicit. Our techniques make use of modular curves and their $j$-maps, as well as classification results on isogeny-graphs that have appeared in the literature recently.
