The image $H:=\rho_E(\Gal(\overline{\Q}/\Q))$ of the adelic Galois representation has label 24.192.1-24.bu.1.7, level \( 24 = 2^{3} \cdot 3 \), index $192$, genus $1$, and generators

$\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 0 \\ 8 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 8 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 5 & 8 \\ 22 & 3 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 17 & 8 \\ 16 & 9 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 23 & 2 \\ 6 & 19 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 5 & 4 \\ 20 & 21 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 17 & 0 \\ 16 & 5 \end{array}\right)$.

Input positive integer $m$ to see the generators of the reduction of $H$ to $\mathrm{GL}_2(\Z/m\Z)$:

The torsion field $K:=\Q(E[24])$ is a degree-$384$ Galois extension of $\Q$ with $\Gal(K/\Q)$ isomorphic to the projection of $H$ to $\GL_2(\Z/24\Z)$.

The table below list all primes $\ell$ for which the Serre invariants associated to the mod-$\ell$ Galois representation are exceptional.

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 $E(\Q)_{\rm tors}$ $\cong \Z/{2}\Z \oplus \Z/{4}\Z$ are as follows:

$[K:\Q]$ $K$ $E(K)_{\rm tors}$ Base change curve
$4$ \(\Q(\zeta_{12})\) \(\Z/4\Z \oplus \Z/4\Z\) not in database
$4$ \(\Q(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})\) \(\Z/2\Z \oplus \Z/8\Z\) not in database

$16$ 16.0.364791569817010176.2 \(\Z/2\Z \oplus \Z/16\Z\) not in database

We only show fields where the torsion growth is primitive.

Iwasawa invariants

$p$ 2 3
Reduction type add nonsplit
$\lambda$-invariant(s) - 0
$\mu$-invariant(s) - 0

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

An entry - indicates that the invariants are not computed because the reduction is additive.

$p$-adic regulators

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

Additional information

This curve is also a quotient of the genus-3 hyperelliptic curve $$y^2 = x^8 + 14x^4 + 1$$ which has geometric automorphism group $S_4 \times \Z/2\Z$.
