For an elliptic curve over , reduction at a good prime is injective on the -primary torsion subgroup when : its kernel is a formal group, where multiplication by is bijective. Hence a rational point of order forces . If for every possible prime some good has a point count not divisible by , rational torsion is trivial. In particular two distinct good primes with coprime counts, and suffice: the coprime counts exclude other primes, and the two cross conditions exclude . This argument does not incorrectly apply prime-to- injectivity to -power torsion.
