Counting 5-isogenies of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$

Number Theory 2025-06-09 v2

Abstract

We show that the number of 55-isogenies of elliptic curves defined over Q\mathbb{Q} with naive height bounded by H>0H > 0 is asymptotic to C5H1/6(logH)2C_5\cdot H^{1/6} (\log H)^2 for some explicitly computable constant C5>0C_5 > 0. This settles the asymptotic count of rational points on the genus zero modular curves X0(m)X_0(m). We leverage an explicit Q\mathbb{Q}-isomorphism between the stack X0(5)\mathscr{X}_0(5) and the generalized Fermat equation x2+y2=z4x^2 + y^2 = z^4 with Gm\mathbb{G}_m-action of weights (4,4,2)(4, 4, 2).
