Torsion points of elliptic curves over large algebraic extensions of finitely generated fields

The following Theorem is proved:Let K be a finitely generated field over its prime field. Then, for almost all e-tuples (σ)=(σ ₁, …,σ _e)of elements of the abstract Galois group G(K)of K we have:

1. If e=1,then E _tor(K(σ))is infinite. Morover, there exist infinitely many primes l such that E(K(σ))contains points of order l.
2. If e≧2,then E _tor(K(σ))is finite.
3. If e≧1,then for every prime l, the group E(K(σ))contains only finitely many points of an l-power order.

HereK(σ) is the fixed field in the algebraic closureK ofK, ofσ ₁, …,σ _e, and “almost all” is meant in the sense of the Haar measure ofG(K).
