Galois Representations

The mod \( p \) Galois Representation has maximal image for all primes \( p < 1000 \) except those listed.

prime Image of Galois Representation
\(2\) 2Cs

For all other primes \(p\), the image is the normalizer of a split Cartan subgroup if \(\left(\frac{ -1 }{p}\right)=+1\) or the normalizer of a nonsplit Cartan subgroup if \(\left(\frac{ -1 }{p}\right)=-1\).

Isogenies and isogeny class

This curve has non-trivial cyclic isogenies of degree \(d\) for \(d=\) 2, 4 and 8.
Its isogeny class 256.1-a consists of curves linked by isogenies of degrees dividing 16.

Base change

This elliptic curve is a \(\Q\)-curve.

It is not the base change of an elliptic curve defined over any subfield.
