The conjecture on infinite essential dimension of elliptic curves

About 19 years old · traced to

Let EE be an elliptic curve over a number field. Its essential dimension is denoted by ed⁡E\operatorname{ed}E. Infinite essential-dimension conjecture for elliptic curves. Then

ed⁡E=+∞.\operatorname{ed}E=+\infty.

The source proves infinite essential dimension for elliptic curves with semistable bad reduction at some prime of the number field, and suggests this statement as a broader guess for all elliptic curves over number fields.
