Bogomolov–Fu–Tschinkel conjecture on common torsion points of elliptic curves

Let E1E_1 and E2E_2 be elliptic curves over C\mathbb{C}, and for each j=1,2j=1,2 let ι\iota be the involution of EjE_j and choose a double cover πj:EjP1\pi_j:E_j\to\mathbb{P}^{1} satisfying πjι=πj\pi_j\circ\iota=\pi_j. Bogomolov–Fu–Tschinkel conjecture. There exists a constant c>0c>0, independent of EjE_j and πj\pi_j, such that

π1(E1[])π2(E2[])c\left|\pi_1(E_1[\infty])\cap\pi_2(E_2[\infty])\right|\leq c

for all pairs (Ej,πj)(E_j,\pi_j) for which this intersection is finite. The conjecture asserts a uniform bound on common torsion points after mapping the elliptic curves to P1\mathbb{P}^{1}; the supplied text gives no resolution status.
