Abstract

Let E be an elliptic curve having Complex Multiplication by the full ring O_K of integers of K=Q(√(-D)), let H=K(j(E)) be the Hilbert class field of K. Then the Mordell-Weil group E(H) is an O_K-module, and its structure denpends on its Steinitz class St(E), which is studied here. In partucular, when D is a prime number, it is proved that St(E)=1 if D≡ 3 (mod 4); and St(E)=[P]^t if D≡ 1 (mod 4), where [P] is the ideal class of K represented by prime factor P of 2 in K, t is a fixed integer. General structures are also discussed for St(E) and for modules over Dedekind domain. These results develop the results by D. Dummit and W. Miller for D=10 and some elliptic curves to more general D and general elliptic curves.
