May 4, 2023 at 16:24 comment added Chris Wuthrich $0\to T \to T \to E[p^k] \to 0 $ is exact and $T^G=0$ gives $H^1(G,T)[p^k] = E(\mathbb{Q})[p^k]$.
May 4, 2023 at 14:40 comment added kindasorta Could you please sketch out how the computation of the torsion subgroup is conducted? I mean the torsion subgroup of the cohomology group.
May 4, 2023 at 14:26 comment added Chris Wuthrich The torsion subgroup is isomorphic to $E(\mathbb{Q})[p^\infty]$ in both cases and that won't change between $E$ and $E'$ if $p>2$. And often, but not always, it is torsion-free.
May 4, 2023 at 12:09 comment added kindasorta Yeah, I do. Are you saying that if I take $H^1(G_S, T_pE)$, where $S$ is a finite set of primes then it should be torsion free? Do you have a reference for this claim?
May 4, 2023 at 12:04 comment added kindasorta What about $p\neq 2$?
May 4, 2023 at 11:51 comment added Chris Wuthrich Not if $p=2$ as then the torsion subgroup of $H^1(\mathbb{Q},T_pE)$, which is isomorphic to $E(\mathbb{Q})[p^{\infty}]$, might be different even if the $p$-torsion $E[p]$ are both trivial.
