Abstract:
Let \(\mathcal{E}\) be an elliptic curve defined over a number field \(K\).
Let \(m\) be a positive integer.
We denote by \(\mathcal{E}[m]\) the \(m\)-torsion subgroup of \(\mathcal{E}\) and
by \(K_m:=K(\mathcal{E}[m])\) the field obtained by adding to \(K\) the coordinates
of the points of \(\mathcal{E}[m]\). We describe the fields \(K_5\), when
\(\mathcal{E}\) is a CM elliptic curve defined over \(K\), with Weiestrass form
either \(y^2=x^3+bx\) or \(y^2=x^3+c\). In particular we classify the fields \(K_5\) in terms of generators,
degrees and Galois groups. Furthermore we show some applications of those results to the Local-Global Divisibility
Problem and to modular curves.
