Two-prime bound on rational elliptic torsion
ID: two-prime-bound-on-rational-elliptic-torsion
Let an elliptic curve over have good reduction at distinct primes , with point counts . For a torsion point, its -primary part injects into every reduction whose residue characteristic differs from . Consequently its -power order has exponent at most when , at most when , and at most when . This precise form avoids assuming injectivity on residue-characteristic torsion. Counts five at two and seven at three force trivial rational torsion.
