Abstract:
Given a non-CM elliptic curve over of discriminant , define the ``torsion conductor'' to be the smallest positive integer so that the Galois representation on the torsion of has image , where denotes the natural projection . We show that, uniformly for semi-stable non-CM elliptic curves over , one has .
