Abstract

In this paper, we describe a relation between the embedding degree of an elliptic curve over a prime field Fp and the inertial degree of the primes above p in a certain ring class field. From this relation, we conclude that the embedding degree divides the class number of a group of binary quadratic forms of a fixed discriminant.
