Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and without complex multiplication. Let $K$ be a fixed imaginary quadratic field. We find nontrivial upper bounds for the number of ordinary primes $p\,\le \,x$ for which $\mathbb{Q}\left( {{\pi }_{p}} \right)\,=\,K$ , where ${{\pi }_{p}}$ denotes the Frobenius endomorphism of $E$ at $p$ . More precisely, under a generalized Riemann hypothesis we show that this number is ${{O}_{E}}\left( {{x}^{17/18}}\,\log x \right)$ , and unconditionally we show that this number is ${{O}_{E,K}}\left( \frac{x{{\left( \log \,\log x \right)}^{13/12}}}{{{\left( \log x \right)}^{25/24}}} \right)$ We also prove that the number of imaginary quadratic fields $K$ , with − disc $K\,\le \,x$ and of the form $K\,=\,\mathbb{Q}({{\pi }_{p}})$ , is ${{\gg }_{E}}\,\log \,\log \,\log \,x$ for $x\,\ge \,{{x}_{0}}\left( E \right)$ . These results represent progress towards a 1976 Lang–Trotter conjecture.
