Abstract

In [2], the author claims that the fields ℚ(D4^∞) defined in the paper and the compositum of all D4 extensions of ℚ coincide. The proof of this claim depends on a misreading of a celebrated result by Shafarevich. The purpose is to salvage the main results of [2]. That is, the classification of torsion structures of E defined over ℚ when base changed to the compositum of all D4 extensions of ℚ main results of [2]. All the main results in [2] are still correct except that we are no longer able to prove that these two fields are equal.
