was proved above, deg(π H(I ′′ )) = [R ′ : I ′ ] = [fR ′ : I] because fI ′ = I. Now since(fR ′ )I ′ = R ′ I = I, we have by Proposition 12 that H(I) = Ker(π I ′′ ◦ π fR ′), and sodeg(π H(I) ) = deg(π I ′′) deg(π fR ′) = [fR ′ : I][R : fR ′ ] by (56). Thus deg(π H(I) ) = [R :I], which proves (53) in general.Corollary 23 If H is a finite subgroup scheme, then |H| | [R : I(H)], and equalityholds if and only if H is an ideal subgroup.Pro<strong>of</strong>. Since H ≤ H(I(H)), we have |H| | |H(I(H))| = [R : I(H)] by (53). Moreover,H is an ideal subgroup ⇔ H = H(I(H)) ⇔ |H| = |H(I(H))| ⇔ |H| = [R : I(H)],and so the assertion follows.Corollary 24 Let H 1 and H 2 be two ideal subgroups <strong>of</strong> E and let f i = f EHi . Thenthe norms <strong>of</strong> the ideals I(H i ) and <strong>of</strong> the lattice H(H 1 , H 2 ) are given by(57)N(I(H i )) = f E|H i | and N(H(H 1 , H 2 )) = lcm(f 1, f 1 ) |H 1 |f i gcd(f 1 , f 2 ) |H 2 | .Pro<strong>of</strong>. Put n i = |H i | and L i = I(H i ). Since R(L i ) = E(H i ) ⊃ R by (46) and (47),we have [R(L i ) : R] = f E /f i , and so N(L i ) = [R(L i ) : L i ] = f Ef i[R : I(H i )] = f Ef in i byCorollary 23. This proves the first equality <strong>of</strong> (57).Now by (47) and (41) we have H(H 1 , H 2 )) = (L 1 : L 2 ) = f 1L f 1L −12 , where f =gcd(f 1 , f 2 ). Thus, using the first equality <strong>of</strong> (57), we obtainN(H(H 1 , H 2 )) = f 2 1f 2 N(L 1 )N(L 2 ) = f 2 1f 2 (f E /f 1 )n 1(f E /f 2 )n 2= f 1f 2f 2 n 1n 2,which proves the second equation <strong>of</strong> (57) because lcm(f 1 , f 2 ) = f 1f 2f .For later purposes we briefly consider how the constructions I(·) and H(·) behaveunder specializations.Proposition 25 Let E/K be a <strong>CM</strong> <strong>elliptic</strong> curve defined over a number field and pbe a prime ideal <strong>of</strong> K with residue field k = O K /p. Assume that E has good reductionE k /k at p. Then:(a) E k /k is a <strong>CM</strong> <strong>elliptic</strong> curve if and only if p = char(k) splits in F := End 0 (E).If this is the case, then the conductor <strong>of</strong> E k is f Ek = f E /p r , where p r ||f E .(b) Assume that the condition <strong>of</strong> (a) holds, and that p ∤ f E , so that the reductionmap defines isomorphismsr k : End(E)∼→ End(E k ) and r 0 k : End 0 (E)∼→ End 0 (E k ).20
