Let E be an elliptic curve defined over ℚ. Suppose that f(x) is any positive function tending to infinity with x. It is shown (under GRH) that for almost all p, the group of 𝔽 p -points of the reduction of E mod p contains a cyclic group of order at least p/f(p).

Soit E une courbe elliptique sur ℚ. Soit f(x) une fonction réelle positive tendant vers l'infini. Nous montrons (sous GRH) que, pour presque tout p, le groupe des 𝔽 p -points de la réduction de E mod p contient un groupe cyclique d'ordre au moins p/f(p).
