Local data
This elliptic curve is semistable.
| prime | Tamagawa number | Kodaira symbol | Reduction type | Root number | ord(\(N\)) | ord(\(\Delta\)) | ord\((j)_{-}\) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Galois representations
The image of the 2-adic representation attached to this elliptic curve is the subgroup of $\GL(2,\Z_2)$ with Rouse label X221a.
This subgroup is the pull-back of the subgroup of $\GL(2,\Z_2/2^4\Z_2)$ generated by $\left(\begin{array}{rr} 9 & 9 \\ 12 & 3 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 5 & 10 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 13 & 10 \\ 4 & 1 \end{array}\right)$ and has index 96.
The mod \( p \) Galois representation has maximal image \(\GL(2,\F_p)\) for all primes \( p \) except those listed.
| prime | Image of Galois representation |
|---|---|
| \(2\) | B |
$p$-adic data
$p$-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 up to 7 such that $E(K)_{\rm tors}$ is strictly larger than $E(\Q)_{\rm tors}$ $\cong \Z/{4}\Z$ are as follows:
| $[K:\Q]$ | $K$ | $E(K)_{\rm tors}$ | Base-change curve |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | \(\Q(\sqrt{-1}) \) | \(\Z/2\Z \times \Z/4\Z\) | 2.0.4.1-289.2-a1 |
| 4 | \(\Q(\zeta_{8})\) | \(\Z/4\Z \times \Z/4\Z\) | Not in database |
| 4.2.1156.1 | \(\Z/8\Z\) | Not in database |
We only show fields where the torsion growth is primitive. For each field $K$ we either show its label, or a defining polynomial when $K$ is not in the database.
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 $(N-1)/12$).
