Abstract

For an elliptic curve E/Q without complex multiplication we study the distribution of Atkin and Elkies primes ℓ, on average, over all good reductions of E modulo primes p. We show that, under the generalized Riemann hypothesis, for almost all primes p there are enough small Elkies primes ℓ to ensure that the Schoof-Elkies-Atkin point-counting algorithm runs in (log p)4+o(1) expected time.
