Sporadic points of odd degree on $X_1(N)$ coming from $\mathbb{Q}$-curves
Abstract
We say a closed point on a curve is sporadic if there are only finitely many points on of degree at most deg. In the case where is the modular curve , most known examples of sporadic points come from elliptic curves with complex multiplication (CM). We seek to understand all sporadic points on corresponding to -curves, which are elliptic curves isogenous to their Galois conjugates. This class contains not only all CM elliptic curves, but also any elliptic curve -isogenous to one with a rational -invariant, among others. In this paper, we show that all non-CM -curves giving rise to a sporadic point of odd degree lie in the -isogeny class of the elliptic curve with -invariant . In addition, we show that a stronger version of this finiteness result would imply Serre's Uniformity Conjecture.
