Abstract: Given a non-CM elliptic curve $ E$ over $ \mathbb{Q}$ of discriminant $ \Delta_E$, define the ``torsion conductor'' $ m_E$ to be the smallest positive integer so that the Galois representation on the torsion of $ E$ has image $ \pi^{-1}(\operatorname{Gal}(\mathbb{Q}(E[m_E])/\mathbb{Q}))$, where $ \pi$ denotes the natural projection $ GL_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}}) \rightarrow GL_2(\mathbb{Z}/m_E\mathbb{Z})$. We show that, uniformly for semi-stable non-CM elliptic curves $ E$ over $ \mathbb{Q}$, one has $ {m_E \ll \left( \prod_{p \mid\Delta_E} p\right)^5}$.
