Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a number field F with everywhere good reduction. By dividing F -rational torsion points with respect to the group law of E M. Taylor defined certain Kummer orders and studied their Galois module structure. His results led to the conjecture that these Kummer orders are free over an explicitly given Hopf order.In this paper we prove that the conjecture does not hold for infinitely many elliptic curves which are defined over quadratic imaginary number fields k and endowed with a k-rational 2-torsion point.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
