Abstract

Let E be an elliptic curve defined over Q. The adelic Galois representation attached to E (this object will be defined during the talk) captures all sorts of interesting information about the arithmetic of the points on E(Q), including data about the torsion subgroup, isogenies, and other finer invariants of the curve and its isogeny class. In this talk, we will give a summary of recent results towards the classification (up to isomorphism) of the possible adelic Galois representations that arise from elliptic curves over Q, and present some recent results of the author and his collaborators (Garen Chiloyan, Harris Daniels, Jackson Morrow) in this area.
