AbstractThis note reformulates Mazur’s result on the possible orders of rational torsion points on elliptic curves over $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q in a way that makes sense for arbitrary genus one curves, regardless whether or not the curve contains a rational point. The main result is that explicit examples are provided of ‘pointless’ genus one curves over $$\mathbb {Q}$$ Q corresponding to the torsion orders 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 (and hence, all possibilities) occurring in Mazur’s theorem. In fact three distinct methods are proposed for constructing such examples, each involving different in our opinion quite nice ideas from the arithmetic of elliptic curves or from algebraic geometry.

1. As Hecke showed, every L-function of an imaginary quadratic field K with a Grössen-character γ is the Mellin transform of a cusp form f(z) belonging to a certain congruence subgroup Γ of SL2(Z). We can normalize γ so that

AbstractLet k = Fq be a finite field of characteristic p with q elements and let K be a function field of one variable over k. Consider an elliptic curve E defined over K. We determine how often the reduction of this elliptic curve to a prime ideal is cyclic. This is done by generalizing a result of Bilharz to a more general form of Artin's primitive roots problem formulated by R. Murty.
