Abstract

Let S2 be the p-primary second Morava stabilizer group, C a supersingular elliptic curve over over(F, -)p, O the ring of endomorphisms of C, and ℓ a topological generator of Zp× (or Z2× / {± 1} if p = 2). We show that for p > 2 the group Γ ⊆ O [1 / ℓ]× of quasi-endomorphisms of degree a power of ℓ is dense in S2. For p = 2, we show that Γ is dense in an index 2 subgroup of S2.
