Imaginary quadratic fields $F$ with $X_0(15)(F)$ finite
Abstract
Caraiani and Newton have proven that if is an imaginary quadratic number field such that has rank over , then every elliptic curve over is modular. This paper is concerned with the quadratic fields for a prime number . We give explicit conditions on under which the rank is , and prove that these conditions are satisfied for of the primes for which the rank is expected to be even based on the parity conjecture. We also show these conditions are satisfied if and only if rank follows from a -descent over on the quadratic twist . To prove this, we perform two consecutive -descents and prove this gives rank bounds equivalent to those obtained from a -descent using visualisation techniques for . In fact we prove a more general connection between higher descents for elliptic curves which seems interesting in its own right.
