On a theorem of Mestre and Schoof. (English) Zbl 1223.11072

For an elliptic curve \(E\) defined over the finite field \({\mathbb F}_q\) with \(q\) elements let \( \lambda(E)\) be the exponent of the group \(E({\mathbb F}_q) \). The authors prove that if \(q\not\in\{3,4,5,7,9,11,16,17,23,25,29,49\} \) then there exists a unique integer \(t\) with \(\mid t\mid\leq 2\sqrt{q}\) such that \(\lambda(E)\mid q+1-t \) and \(\lambda(E')\mid q+1+t \), where \(E' \) is the quadratic twist of \(E\).
