Local data

This elliptic curve is semistable. There is only one prime of bad reduction:

prime	Tamagawa number	Kodaira symbol	Reduction type	Root number	ord($N$)	ord($\Delta$)	ord$(j)_{-}$
$17$	$4$	$I_{4}$	Split multiplicative	-1	1	4	4

Galois representations

The $\ell$-adic Galois representation has maximal image $\GL(2,\Z_\ell)$ for all primes $\ell$ except those listed in the table below.

prime $\ell$	mod-$\ell$ image	$\ell$-adic image
$2$	2B	16.96.0.32

$p$-adic regulators

All $p$-adic regulators are identically $1$ since the rank is $0$.

Iwasawa invariants

$p$	2	17
Reduction type	ordinary	split
$\lambda$-invariant(s)	0	1
$\mu$-invariant(s)	2	0

All Iwasawa $\lambda$ and $\mu$-invariants for primes $p\ge 3$ of good reduction are zero.

Isogenies

This curve has non-trivial cyclic isogenies of degree $d$ for $d=$ 2 and 4.
Its isogeny class 17.a consists of 4 curves linked by isogenies of degrees dividing 4.

Growth of torsion in number fields

The number fields $K$ of degree less than 24 such that $E(K)_{\rm tors}$ is strictly larger than $E(\Q)_{\rm tors}$ $\cong \Z/{4}\Z$ are as follows:

Additional information

This is the only elliptic curve over $\Q$ of prime conductor $N$ and discriminant $\Delta = \pm N^4$, and one of only four prime-conductor curves of discriminant $\pm N^e$ with $e > 2$: the others are the modular curves $X_0(N)$ for N=11 [11.a2 ] and N=19 [19.a2 ], and the curve [37.b2 ] (with $e=5,3,3$ respectively -- in each case, as here with $(N,e)=(17,4)$, the exponent $e$ is the numerator of $(N-1)/12$).
