Math 582: computational number theory

Homework 4 -- due by Friday Feb 5 at 9am

WARNING: I haven't exactly tried the problems below. I don't know how computationally difficult they are for sure.

︠fcaf67de-0ff6-4544-b9f2-d6d494060f6bi︠ %md **Problem 1:** Let $\rho_{E,2}$ denote the mod 2 representation attached to $E$ for each of the following elliptic curves: 17a1, 32a1, 32a2, 37a1. For each, compute explicitly the matrix of $\rho_{E,2}(\text{Frob}_P)$, where $P$ is a choice of prime ideal over each of 3,5,7,11,13. Be sure to check that $X^2 - a_p(E)X + p$ is the charpoly of $\rho_{E,2}(\text{Frob}_P)$.

Problem 1: Let ρE,2\rho_{E,2} denote the mod 2 representation attached to EE for each of the following elliptic curves: 17a1, 32a1, 32a2, 37a1. For each, compute explicitly the matrix of ρE,2(FrobP)\rho_{E,2}(\text{Frob}_P), where PP is a choice of prime ideal over each of 3,5,7,11,13. Be sure to check that X2ap(E)X+pX^2 - a_p(E)X + p is the charpoly of ρE,2(FrobP)\rho_{E,2}(\text{Frob}_P).

This is the homomorphism $G_\QQ\to\text{GL}_2(\ZZ/4\ZZ)$ defined by the action of $G_\QQ$ on $E[4]$. Be sure to check that $X^2 - a_p(E)X + p$ is the charpoly of $\rho_{E,2}(\text{Frob}_P)$. Try to compute explicitly the matrix of $\rho_{E,4}(\text{Frob}_P)$, where $P$ is a choice of prime ideal over each of 3,5,7,11,13.

Problem 2: Let ρE,4\rho_{E,4} denote the mod 4 representation attached to EE for the curve 32a1. This is the homomorphism GQGL2(Z/4Z)G_\QQ\to\text{GL}_2(\ZZ/4\ZZ) defined by the action of GQG_\QQ on E[4]E[4]. Be sure to check that X2ap(E)X+pX^2 - a_p(E)X + p is the charpoly of ρE,2(FrobP)\rho_{E,2}(\text{Frob}_P).

Try to compute explicitly the matrix of ρE,4(FrobP)\rho_{E,4}(\text{Frob}_P), where PP is a choice of prime ideal over each of 3,5,7,11,13.
