Torsion of rational elliptic curves over different types of cubic fields

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be an elliptic curve defined over [Formula: see text], and let [Formula: see text] be the torsion group [Formula: see text] for some cubic field [Formula: see text] which does not occur over [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine over which types of cubic number fields (cyclic cubic, non-Galois totally real cubic, complex cubic or pure cubic) [Formula: see text] can occur, and if so, whether it can occur infinitely often or not. Moreover, if it occurs, we provide elliptic curves [Formula: see text] together with cubic fields [Formula: see text] so that [Formula: see text].
