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
$2$	2Cs	8.12.0.1

The image $H:=\rho_E(\Gal(\overline{\Q}/\Q))$ of the adelic Galois representation has level $1976 = 2^{3} \cdot 13 \cdot 19$, index $48$, genus $0$, and generators

$\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 0 \\ 4 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 4 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1973 & 4 \\ 1972 & 5 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 457 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 989 & 4 \\ 2 & 9 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1355 & 2 \\ 414 & 1975 \end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{rr} 1485 & 4 \\ 990 & 3 \end{array}\right)$.

The torsion field $K:=\Q(E[1976])$ is a degree-$103255326720$ Galois extension of $\Q$ with $\Gal(K/\Q)$ isomorphic to the projection of $H$ to $\GL_2(\Z/1976\Z)$.

Iwasawa invariants

$p$	2	13	19
Reduction type	nonsplit	nonsplit	split
$\lambda$-invariant(s)	0	0	3
$\mu$-invariant(s)	0	0	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 $0$.
