review text: Given a number field \(K\) and an elliptic curve \(E\) defined over \(K\), there exist only finitely many torsion points in \(E(K)\); this is the theorem of \textit{L. Mérel} in [Invent. Math. 124, 437-449 (1996; Zbl 0936.11037)]. How is the torsion subgroup of \(E(K)\) made? Let \(d\) be a positive integer, let \(S(d)\) be the set of all the prime numbers \(p\) such that there exists a number field \(K\) of degree \(d\) over \({\mathbb Q}\) and an elliptic curve \(E\) defined over \(K\) with a rational point of order \(p\). The set \(S(d)\) is finite, and \(S(1)=\{2,3,5,7\}\) [\textit{B. Mazur}, Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 47, 33-186 (1977; Zbl 0394.14008)], \(S(2)=\{2,3,5,7,11,13\}\) [\textit{S. Kamienny}, Commun. Algebra 23, 2167-2169 (1995; Zbl 0832.14023)]. More generally if \(p\in S(d)\) then \(p\leq(1+3^{d/2})^2\) if \(d\not=3\) and \(p\leq 37<(1+3^{3/2})^2\) or \(p=43\) if \(d=3\) (J. Oesterlé). In this article the author explores in more detail the case \(d=3\). He can indeed prove the following: If for all prime numbers \(17\leq p\leq 43\) the winding quotient of \(J_1(p)\) has rank \(0\) over \({\mathbb Q}\) (*), then \(\{2,3,5,7,11,13\}\subset S(3)\subset\{2,3,5,7,11,13,17\}\). This result answers a question of \textit{S. Kamienny} and \textit{B. Mazur} in [Astérisque 228, 81-98; appendix 99-100 (1995; Zbl 0846.14012)]. Note that the condition (*) is certainly satisfied if the Birch -- Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture is assumed to be true. In his proof the author deals with new difficulties arising essentially from the fact that to get such a sharp result, one has to ``reduce at the prime number \(\ell=2\)'' instead of \(\ell=3\): It turns out that \(X_0(p)\) has its genus too small for all the interesting prime numbers \(p\), and Kamienny's formal immersion technique is no longer useful for \(\ell=2\). The author must work with a suitable model of \(X_1(p)\) instead of \(X_0(p)\), so that he can appeal to Mazur's formal immersion technique at \(\ell…
