Models of Elliptic Curves with Maximal 2-adic Image Subject to a Rational 2-Isogeny
Abstract
Let E be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over ℚ. We present models of curves that have 2-adic image as large as possible, given the constraint that they have a rational 2-isogeny. These curves are known to be generic, and one of the aims of this article is to make that fact explicit. Our techniques make use of modular curves and their j-maps, as well as classification results on isogeny-graphs that have appeared in the literature recently.
