It is not necessary to do the torsion computation over K alluded to above because E is isolated in its isogeny class so all the Galois representations rho_{E,ell} are surjective. <<< Strategy to do an interesting related computation: >>> 1. Fix a quadratic imaginary extension K of Q. Let O = Z + alpha*Z be the full ring of integers of K. 2. Consider the sum sum [C/O ---> C/L] where L ranges over the rank 2 Z-modules in the vector space K = Q x Q such that L/O is a cyclic abelian group of order N. I think there are exactly #P^1(Z/NZ) such L. 3. As described in the lemma below, this sum is equal to sum [r(alpha)] where r ranges over coset representatives for Gamma_0(N) \ SL_2(Z), and the sum is an element of the free abelian group on the points in the extended upper half plane. 4. Let f be a rational newform in S_2(Gamma_0(N)). Let z be the complex number sum where the pairing is the integration pairing between cusp forms and modular symbols. 5. The point z defines an element of the complex elliptic curve C / Lambda_f, where Lambda_f is the period lattice attached to f. 6. Using the Weierstrass p function attached to Lambda_f, we obtain a point P = (x,y) on a cubic curve in P^2. 7. Questions: a) Is P defined over K? b) If E has rank 2, is P ever nonzero?
