CM liftings of Supersingular Elliptic Curves

Abstract

Assuming GRH, we present an algorithm which inputs a prime $p$ and outputs the set of fundamental discriminants $D<0$ such that the reduction map modulo a prime above $p$ from elliptic curves with CM by $\order_{D}$ to supersingular elliptic curves in characteristic $p$. In the algorithm we first determine an explicit constant $D_p$ so that $|D|> D_p$ implies that the map is necessarily surjective and then we compute explicitly the cases $|D|<D_p$.
