We study the question of finding a uniform bound on $p$ that depends only on $d$, and obtain, under a certain condition on the signature of the isogeny, such a uniform bound by explicitly constructing nonzero integers that $p$ must divide. As a corollary we find a uniform bound on torsion points defined over unramified extensions of the base field, generalising Merel's Uniform Boundedness result for torsion.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-02-16T15:11:23.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G05", "11Y60", "11G15" ], "keywords": [ "prime degree", "strong uniformity", "generalising merels uniform boundedness result", "elliptic curve", "rational isogeny" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
