Torsion points on elliptic curve when base field changes

30 Views Asked by At

There are two questions related to elliptic curve

(1)Let E be an algebraic elliptic curve over k where k:algebraic closed field with characteristic zero

Let K be an any extension field of k so we can view E as an elliptic curve over K

Then is it right that $E(k)^{tor}=E(K)^{tor}?$

$E(k)[N]\subset E(K)[N]$ and $|E(k)[N]|=N^2=|E(\overline K)[N]|$ implies that E(k)[N]=E(K)[N]

So we can conclude that $E(k)^{tor}=E(K)^{tor}?$ Is it right?

(2)Let $E_1, E_2$ be algebraic elliptic curves over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$

Assume that $E_1, E_2$ are isomorphic over $\mathbb{C}$(View $E_1, E_2$ elliptic curve over $\mathbb{C}$)

Can we show that this morphism is actually defined over $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}$?

It looks like that this statement hold for any algebraic curve $C_1, C_2$

Thank you.
