Abstract

In this paper we present a description of the $\ell$-adic Galois representation attached to an elliptic curve defined over a $2$-adic field $K$, in the case where the image of inertia is non-abelian. There are two possibilities for the image of inertia, namely $Q_8$ and $\SL_2(\F_3)$, and in each case we need to distinguish whether the inertia degree of $K$ over $\Q_2$ is even or odd. The result presented here are being implemented in an algorithm to compute explicitly the Galois representation in these four cases.
