Abstract
We give a global description of the Frobenius for the division fields of an elliptic curve E that is strictly analogous to the cyclotomic case. This is then applied to determine the splitting of a prime p in a subfield of such a division field. These subfields include a large class of nonsolvable quintic extensions and our application provides an arithmetic counterpart to Klein's "solution" of quintic equations using elliptic functions. A central role is played by the discriminant of the ring of endomorphisms of the reduced curve modulo p.
