Abstract
Let $\mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d)$ denote the collection of groups (up to isomorphism) that appear as the torsion subgroup of a complex multiplication (CM) elliptic curve over a degree $d$ number field. We completely determine $\mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d)$ for odd integers $d$ and deduce a number of statistical theorems about the behavior of torsion subgroups of CM elliptic curves. Here are three examples: (1) For each odd $d$ , the set of natural numbers $d'$ with $\mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d')=\mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d)$ possesses a well-defined, positive asymptotic density. (2) Let $T_{\operatorname{CM}}(d) = \max_{G \in \mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d)} \#G$ ; under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis,

(3) For each $\epsilon > 0$ , we have $\#\mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d) \ll_{\epsilon} d^{\epsilon}$ for all odd $d$ ; on the other hand, for each $A> 0$ , we have $\#\mathscr{G}_{\operatorname{CM}}(d) > (\log{d})^A$ for infinitely many odd $d$ .Keywords
