Elliptic analogue of irregular prime numbers for the $p^{n}$-division fields of the curves $y^{2} = x^{3}-(s^{4}+t^{2})x$

Abstract: A prime number $p$ is said to be irregular if it divides the class number of the $p$-th cyclotomic field $\mathbb{Q}(\zeta_{p}) = \mathbb{Q}(\mathbb{G}_m[p])$. In this paper, we study its elliptic analogue for the division fields of an elliptic curve. More precisely, for a prime number $p \geq 5$ and a positive integer $n$, we study the $p$-divisibility of the class number of the $p{n}$-division field $\mathbb{Q}(E[p{n}])$ of an elliptic curve $E$ of the form $y{2} = x{3}-(s{4}+t{2})x$. In particular, we construct a certain infinite subfamily consisting of curves with novel properties that they are of Mordell-Weil rank 1 and the class numbers of their $p{n}$-division fields are divisible by $p{2n}$. Moreover, we can prove that these division fields are not isomorphic to each other. In our construction, we use recent results obtained by the first author.
