Polynomial torsion bound conjecture for elliptic curves
Polynomial torsion bound conjecture for elliptic curves
Let be a number field of degree , and let be an elliptic curve. Write for the subgroup of -rational points of finite order. Polynomial torsion bound conjecture. There exist absolute constants such that
Merel's theorem gives a uniform bound depending only on , but the known bounds are more than exponential in the degree. For CM elliptic curves, a bound of order is known; this conjecture asks for a polynomial bound in the non-CM setting as well as in general.
