Rational points on $X_0(N)^*$ when $N$ is non-squarefree
Abstract
Let be a non-squarefree integer such that the quotient of the modular curve by the full group of Atkin-Lehner involutions has positive genus. Elkies conjectures that the rational points on are only cusps or CM points when is large enough. We establish an integrality result for the -invariants of non-cuspidal rational points on , representing a significant step toward resolving a key subcase of Elkies' conjecture. To this end, we prove the existence of rank-zero quotients of certain modular Jacobians . Furthermore, we provide a complete classification of the rational points on of genus , when they are finite. In the process we identify exceptional rational points on and which were not known before.
