Abstract

In this paper we improve on existing methods to compute quadratic points on modular curves and apply them to successfully find all the quadratic points on all modular curves X0(N)X_0(N) of genus up to 88, and genus up to 1010 with NN prime, for which they were previously unknown. The values of NN we consider are contained in the set L={58,68,74,76,80,85,97,98,100,103,107,109,113,121,127}. \mathcal{L}=\{58, 68, 74, 76, 80, 85, 97, 98, 100, 103, 107, 109, 113, 121, 127 \}. We obtain that all the non-cuspidal quadratic points on X0(N)X_0(N) for NLN\in \mathcal{L} are CM points, except for one pair of Galois conjugate points on X0(103)X_0(103) defined over Q(2885)\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2885}). We also compute the jj-invariants of the elliptic curves parametrised by these points, and for the CM points determine their geometric endomorphism rings.
