The probability of non-isomorphic group structures of isogenous elliptic curves in finite field extensions, II

Abstract

Let $E$ and $E'$ be 2-isogenous elliptic curves over $\Q$. Following \cite{ck}, we call a good prime $p$ \emph{anomalous} if $E(\F_p) \simeq E'(\F_p)$ but $E(\F_{p^2}) \not \simeq E'(\F_{p^2})$. Our main result is an explicit formula for the proportion of anomalous primes for any such pair of elliptic curves. We consider both the CM case and the non-CM case.
