Abstract

Let pp be a prime greater than 3. Consider the modular curve X0(3p)X_0(3p) over Q\mathbb{Q} and its Jacobian variety J0(3p)J_0(3p) over Q\mathbb{Q}. Let T(3p)\mathcal{T}(3p) and C(3p)\mathcal{C}(3p) be the group of rational torsion points on J0(3p)J_0(3p) and the cuspidal group of J0(3p)J_0(3p), respectively. We prove that the 33-primary subgroups of T(3p)\mathcal{T}(3p) and C(3p)\mathcal{C}(3p) coincide unless p1(mod9)p\equiv 1 \pmod 9 and 3p131 ⁣(modp)3^{\frac{p-1}{3}} \equiv 1 \!\pmod {p}.
