Abstract
Consider a rational point on an elliptic curve under an
isogeny. Suppose that the action of Galois partitions the set of its preimages
into n orbits. It is shown that all but finitely many such points
have their denominator divisible by at least n distinct primes. This generalizes
Siegel’s theorem and more recent results of Everest et al. For
multiplication by a prime l, it is shown that if n > 1 then either the
point is l times a rational point or the elliptic curve admits a rational
l-isogeny.
