I'm using the same setup as Corollary 1.7 on p. 44 of de Shalit manuscript (Iwasawa theory of elliptic curves with complex multiplication).
I think there is a mistake in his Corollary 1.7 and I'm wondering if it is possible to fix it. So let $E/F$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $F$ such that
(1) $E$ has complex multiplication by $\mathcal{O}_K$,
(2) $F(E_{tor})$ is abelian over $K$ (this is a strong assumption, since a priori we only know that $F(E_{tor})$ is abelian over $F$).
In particular, it follows from (2) that $K(1)\subseteq F$, where $K(1)$ stands for the Hilbert class field of $K$. Let $\mathfrak{f}\subseteq\mathcal{O}_F$ be the conductor of the Groessencharacter associated to $E/F$ (which depends just on the $F$-isogeny class of $E$).
For an integral ideal $\mathfrak{m}\subseteq\mathcal{O}_K$, we let
(a) $F[\mathfrak{m}]=F(E[\mathfrak{m}])$
(b) $F(\mathfrak{m})=F(x(P):P\in E[\mathfrak{m}])$
It is easy to see that $[L[\mathfrak{m}]:L(\mathfrak{m})]\leq 2$ and that we have an injection
$\theta_{\mathfrak{m}}:Gal(F[\mathfrak{m}]/F)\hookrightarrow (\mathcal{O}_K/\mathfrak{m})^{\times}$.
[added: Most interesting example: If $F=K(1)$ and if $\mathfrak{m}$ is such that $1\in\mu_K$ is the only root of unity $\zeta\in\mu_K$ such that $\zeta\equiv 1\pmod{\mathfrak{m}}$, then $Gal(F(\mathfrak{m})/F)\simeq (\mathcal{O}_K/\mathfrak{m})^{\times}/\mu_K$. In particular, if $\mu_K=\{\pm 1\}$ then $im(\theta_{\mathfrak{m}})$ has at most index $2$.]
Let $\mathfrak{g}\subseteq\mathcal{O}_K$ be another ideal and let us assume that $(\mathfrak{f}\cap\mathcal{O}_K) |\mathfrak{g}$ and that $(\mathfrak{m},\mathfrak{g})=1$.
---------(added on 6th of April 2017: in fact de Shalit's assumptions on the ideals $\mathfrak{g}$ and $\mathfrak{m}$ are more restrictive than what I initially wrote above)--------.
Then de Shalit claims the following:
(c) $\theta_{\mathfrak{m}}$ is surjective
(d) $F[\mathfrak{m}]$ is linearly disjoint from $F[\mathfrak{g}]$ over $F$.
In general, I don't see why $\theta_{\mathfrak{m}}$ is surjective, since in one of his computations, he forgets the contribution coming from the roots of unity of $K$. Moreover, if we take into account this omission, it seems to me that we only obtain that $F(\mathfrak{m})$ and $F(\mathfrak{g})$ are linearly disjoint over $F$.
Q1 Are (c) and (d) still true ?
There seems also to be something wrong with his proposition 1.6 (his proof of Corollary 1.7 is partly based on it), since it seems to me that one could assume from the outset that $F$ contains the coordinates of the points $E[\mathfrak{m}]$ without changing the assumptions (1) and (2) above (but may be his proposition 1.6 is correct if $F=K(1)$ which is the most interesting case).
Here is one related question to the previous paragraph (still assuming that (1) and (2) hold true) which I don't know the answer:
Q2 Let us assume that $F=K(1)$. Then we know from CM theory that $F(\mathfrak{m})$ corresponds to the ray class field of $K$ of modulus $\mathfrak{m}$. Let us assume that $[F[\mathfrak{m}]:F(\mathfrak{m})]=2$ (which I expect to be the "generic" case). What is the conductor of the abelian extension $F[\mathfrak{m}]/K$ (note in particular that this conductor must be divisible by $\mathfrak{m}$) ?
