Explicit isogenies of prime degree over quadratic fields
Abstract
Let K be a quadratic field which is not an imaginary quadratic field of class number one. We describe an algorithm to compute the primes p for which there exists an elliptic curve over K admitting a K-rational p-isogeny. This builds on work of David, Larson-Vaintrob, and Momose. Combining this algorithm with work of Bruin-Najman, \"Ozman-Siksek, and most recently Box, we determine the above set of primes for the three quadratic fields Q(-10), Q(5), and Q(7), providing the first such examples after Mazur's 1978 determination for K = Q. The termination of the algorithm relies on the Generalised Riemann Hypothesis.
