Throughout this note, p denotes a fixed prime number and f denotes a fixed natural number prime to p.

It is easy to see and more or less known that for any natural number n, there exists an elliptic curve over p whose j-invariant is of degree n over Fp and whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to an order of an imaginary quadratic field. In this note, we consider a more precise problem: for any natural number n, decide whether or not there exists an elliptic curve over p whose j-invariant is of degree n over Fp and whose endomorphism ring is isomorphic to an order of an imaginary quadratic field with conductor f.
