On an explicit upper bound for the degree of an isogeny between two elliptic curves (English)
0 references
The paper gives an explicit bound for the minimal degree of an isogeny between two elliptic curves over a number field, provided one knows that one such isogeny exists. The bound is in terms of the heights of the coefficients of a Weierstrass-equation for one of the curves. The result as well as the methods used in the proof generalise previous work of Masser-Wüstholz and David on the same subject. The author obtains a better numerical constant and better exponents than his predecessors by improving the analytic component of Baker's technique, using multihomogeneous instead of homogeneous auxiliary polynomials.
