Abstract

Let n>1n>1 be an integer such that X0 ⁣(n)X_{0}\!\left( n\right) has genus 00, and let KK be a field of characteristic 00 or relatively prime to 6n6n. In this article, we explicitly classify the isogeny graphs of all rational elliptic curves that admit a non-trivial isogeny over Q\mathbb{Q}. We achieve this by introducing 5656 parameterized families of elliptic curves Cn,i(t,d)\mathcal{C}_{n,i}(t,d) defined over K(t,d)K(t,d), which have the following two properties for a fixed nn: the elliptic curves Cn,i(t,d)\mathcal{C}_{n,i}(t,d) are isogenous over K(t,d)K(t,d), and there are integers k1k_{1} and k2k_{2} such that the jj-invariants of Cn,k1(t,d)\mathcal{C}_{n,k_{1}}(t,d) and Cn,k2(t,d)\mathcal{C}_{n,k_{2}}(t,d) are given by the Fricke parameterizations. As a consequence, we show that if EE is an elliptic curve over a number field KK with isogeny class degree divisible by n{4,6,9}n\in\left\{4,6,9\right\} , then there is a quadratic twist of EE that is semistable at all primes p\mathfrak{p} of KK such that pn\mathfrak{p}\nmid n.
