The Frequency of Elliptic Curves Over Q[i] with Fixed Torsion
Abstract
Mazur's Theorem states that there are precisely 15 possibilities for the torsion subgroup of an elliptic curve defined over the rational numbers. It was previously shown by Harron and Snowden that the number of isomorphism classes of elliptic curves of height up to X that have a specific torsion subgroup G is on the order of X1/d(G), for some positive d(G) depending on G. We compute d(G) for these groups over Q[i]. Furthermore, in a collection of recent papers it was proven that there are 9 more possibilities for the torsion subgroup in the base field Q[i]. We compute the value of d(G) for these new groups.
