Abstract: Let $ K$ be a number field, $ \overline{K}$ an algebraic closure of $ K$, $ G_K$ the absolute Galois group $ \operatorname{Gal}(\overline{K}/K)$, $ K_{ab}$ the maximal abelian extension of $ K$ and $ E/K$ an elliptic curve defined over $ K$. In this paper, we prove that if all 2-torsion points of $ E/K$ are $ K$-rational, then for each $ \sigma\in G_K$, $ E((K_{ab})^{\sigma})$ has infinite rank, and hence $ E(\overline{K}^{\sigma})$ has infinite rank.
