Abstract

Let N1N\geq 1 be a square-free integer such that the modular curve X0(N)X_0^*(N) has genus 2\geq 2. We prove that X0(N)X_0^*(N) is bielliptic exactly for 1919 values of NN, and we determine the automorphism group of these bielliptic curves. In particular, we obtain the first examples of nontrivial Aut(X0(N))Aut(X_0^*(N)) when the genus of X0(N)X_0^*(N) is 3\geq 3. Moreover, we prove that the set of all quadratic points over Q\mathbb{Q} for the modular curve X0(N)X_0^*(N) with genus 2\geq 2 and NN square-free is not finite exactly for 5151 values of NN.
