Abstract

For a prime p, let p denote a fixed primitive pth root of unity. Let E be an elliptic curve over a number field k with a p-torsion point. Then the p-torsion subgroup of E gives a Kummer extension over k(p). In this paper, for p = 5 and 7, we study the ramification of such Kummer extensions using explicit Kummer generators directly computed by Verdure in 2006.
