Frey–Mazur conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let E/QE/\mathbb{Q} and E′/QE'/\mathbb{Q} be elliptic curves. Their pp-torsion modules are the corresponding Galois modules E[p]E[p] and E′[p]E'[p].

Frey–Mazur conjecture. If E[p]E[p] and E′[p]E'[p] are isomorphic as Galois modules for some prime p>17p>17, then EE and E′E' are Q\mathbb{Q}-isogenous.

This is the stronger formulation of the Frey–Mazur conjecture, whose original formulation was weaker. The source gives no resolution evidence, so the conjecture remains open.
