Mar 1, 2010 at 13:51 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat You are right : for $p\neq2,3$, you may equivalently think of the question as being about discriminants of elliptic curves over the residue field.
Mar 1, 2010 at 13:31 comment added Qing Liu Sorry, you are completely right. This bijection with $k^*/{k*}^{12}$ is true only for $p\ne 2,3$. But, if you have an answer over $k$, you have an answer over $K$, and the converse is true if $p\ne 2,3$.
Mar 1, 2010 at 11:24 comment added Chandan Singh Dalawat I'm a bit worried about the primes 2 and 3. For $K=\mathbb{Q}_2$, the group $\mathbb{F}_2^\times/\mathbb{F}_2^{\times12}$ is trivial, whereas $\mathbb{Z}_2^\times/\mathbb{Z}_2^{\times12}$ is not trivial.
Mar 1, 2010 at 9:56 comment added Qing Liu Notice that this quantity depends only on the reduction of $E$. So an equivalent form of the question is: if $E$ is an elliptic curve a finite field $k$, what of $E$ is encoded in its discriminant $\in k^*/{k^*}^{12}$ ?
