Abstract
Consider a modular curve defined over a number field , where is a subgroup of with . The curve comes with a morphism to the -line. For a finite set of places of that satisfies a certain condition, Runge's method shows that there are only finitely many points for which lies in the ring of -units of . We prove an explicit version which shows that if for some , then the absolute logarithmic height of is bounded above by . Explicits upper bounds have already been obtained by Bilu and Parent though they are not polynomial in . The modular functions needed to apply Runge's method are constructing using Eisenstein series of weight .
