For an elliptic curve with good reduction over , let be the reduction kernel and its formal subgroup with parameter in . The deep logarithm subgroup of a formal group makes torsion-free, while . Thus the torsion of the reduction kernel has order at most . Combined with the Hasse theorem for elliptic curves, rational torsion of order forces bad reduction at .
