For every group $\{\pm1\}\subseteq \Delta\subseteq (\mathbb Z/N\mathbb Z)^\times$, there exists an intermediate modular curve $X_\Delta(N)$. In this paper we determine all curves $X_\Delta(N)$ with infinitely many points of degree $4$ over…

Building on work of Balakrishnan, Dogra, and of the first author, we provide some improvements to the explicit quadratic Chabauty method to compute rational points on genus $2$ bielliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$, whose Jacobians have…

It has been conjectured that for $N$ sufficiently large, there are no quadratic polynomials in $\bold Q[z]$ with rational periodic points of period $N$. Morton proved there were none with $N=4$, by showing that the genus~$2$ algebraic curve…

We describe an algorithm to compute the number of points over finite fields on a broad class of modular curves: we consider quotients $X_H/W$ for $H$ a subgroup of $\GL_2(\mathbb Z/n\mathbb Z)$ such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$, the…

We present a Mordell-Weil sieve that can be used to compute points on certain bielliptic modular curves $X_0(N)$ over fixed quadratic fields. We study $X_0(N)(\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d}))$ for $N \in \{ 53,61,65,79,83,89,101,131 \}$ and $\lvert d…

We give a procedure to determine equations for the modular curves $X_0(N)$ which are bielliptic and equations for the 30 values of $N$ such that $X_0(N)$ is bielliptic and nonhyperelliptic are presented.

We present results of quadratic Chabauty experiments on genus 2 bielliptic modular curves of Jacobian rank 2 that have recently been added to the LMFDB. We apply quadratic Chabauty methods over both the rationals and quadratic imaginary…

In this work, we investigate hyperelliptic curves of type $C: y^2 = x^{2g+1} + ax^{g+1} + bx$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q, q = p^n, p > 2$. For the case of $g = 3$ and $4$ we propose algorithms to compute the number of points on the…

We determine all modular curves $X_0(N)/\langle w_d\rangle$ that admit infinitely many cubic points over the rational field $\mathbb{Q}$, when $N$ is square-free.

Among all the dynamical modular curves associated to quadratic polynomial maps, we determine which curves have infinitely many quadratic points. This yields a classification statement on preperiodic points for quadratic polynomials over…

For a square-free integer $N$, we present a procedure to compute $\mathbb{Q}$-curves parametrized by rational points of the modular curve $X_0^*(N)$ when this is hyperelliptic.

Consider the smooth projective models C of curves y^2=f(x) with f(x) in Z[x] monic and separable of degree 2g+1. We prove that for g >= 3, a positive fraction of these have only one rational point, the point at infinity. We prove a lower…

A central problem in arithmetic geometry is to construct non-torsion rational points on elliptic curves. We study a canonical quadratic point $\xi_C \in {\rm Jac}(C)$ attached to a smooth non-hyperelliptic curve of genus 4 and use it to…
