Galois representations

The $\ell$-adic Galois representation has maximal image for all primes $\ell$ except those listed in the table below.

prime $\ell$	mod-$\ell$ image	$\ell$-adic image

The image $H:=\rho_E(\Gal(\overline{\Q}/\Q))$ of the adelic Galois representation has level $544 = 2^{5} \cdot 17$, index $1536$, genus $53$, and generators

$\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 0 \\ 32 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 32 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 513 & 32 \\ 512 & 33 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 349 & 84 \\ 248 & 169 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 9 & 32 \\ 488 & 345 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 511 & 134 \\ 272 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 29 & 8 \\ 444 & 85 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 141 & 24 \\ 266 & 373 \end{array}\right)$.

Iwasawa invariants

$p$	2	17
Reduction type	ord	split
$\lambda$-invariant(s)	0	1
$\mu$-invariant(s)	1	0

All Iwasawa $\lambda$ and $\mu$-invariants for primes $p\ge 3$ of good reduction are zero.

$p$-adic regulators

All $p$-adic regulators are identically $1$ since the rank is $0$.
