Let $n>1$ be an integer such that $X_{0}\!\left( n\right) $ has genus $0$, and let $K$ be a field of characteristic $0$ or relatively prime to $6n$. In this article, we explicitly classify the isogeny graphs of all rational elliptic curves…

Let $E:y^2=x^3+ax+b$ be an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. We compute certain twists of the classical modular curves $X(8)$. Searching for rational points on these twists enables us to find non-trivial pairs of $8$-congruent…

We show that the number of $5$-isogenies of elliptic curves defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with naive height bounded by $H > 0$ is asymptotic to $C_5\cdot H^{1/6} (\log H)^2$ for some explicitly computable constant $C_5 > 0$. This settles the…

We study the problem of $d$-gonality of the modular curve $X_0(N)$. As a result, we can give an upperbound of the level $N$ by means of $d$. This generalizes Ogg's result on hyperelliptic modular curves ($d = 2$). As a corollary of this…

We determine the possible degrees of cyclic isogenies defined over quadratic fields for non-CM elliptic curves with rational $j$-invariant.

Let $X_\Delta(N)$ be an intermediate modular curve of level $N$, meaning that there exist (possibly trivial) morphisms $X_1(N)\rightarrow X_\Delta(N) \rightarrow X_0(N)$. For all such intermediate modular curves, we give an explicit…

In this paper we compute the degree of a curve which is the image of a mapping $z\longmapsto (f(z): g(z): h(z))$ constructed out of three linearly independent modular forms of the same even weight $\ge 4$ into $\mathbb P^2$. We prove that…

Let $N$ be a positive integer. For every $d\mid N$ such that $(d,N/d)=1$ there exists an Atkin-Lehner involution $w_d$ of the modular curve $X_0(N)$. The curve $X_0^*(N)$ is a quotient curve of $X_0(N)$ by $B(N)$, the group of all…

For a fixed odd prime p and a representation \rho of the absolute Galois group of Q into the projective group PGL(2,p), we provide the twisted modular curves whose rational points supply the quadratic Q-curves of degree N prime to p that…

We study the moduli surface for pairs of elliptic curves together with an isomorphism between their N-torsion groups. The Weil pairing gives a "determinant" map from this moduli surface to (Z/NZ)*; its fibers are the components of the…

We determine which of the modular curves $X_\Delta(N)$, that is, curves lying between $X_0(N)$ and $X_1(N)$, are bielliptic. Somewhat surprisingly, we find that one of these curves has exceptional automorphisms. Finally we find all…

Let X be a normal projective variety admitting an action of a semisimple group with a unique closed orbit. We construct finitely many rational curves in X, all having a common point, such that every effective one-cycle on X is rationally…

In this paper we improve on existing methods to compute quadratic points on modular curves and apply them to successfully find all the quadratic points on all modular curves $X_0(N)$ of genus up to $8$, and genus up to $10$ with $N$ prime,…

Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this paper we study two certain modular curves which parameterize families of elliptic curves which are directly (resp. reverse) 6-congruent to $E$ together with the explicit…

Infinitely many elliptic curves over ${\bf Q}$ have a Galois-stable cyclic subgroup of order 4. Such subgroups come in pairs, which intersect in their subgroups of order 2. Let $N_i(X)$ denote the number of elliptic curves over ${\bf Q}$…

For a positive integer $N$, let $J_0(N)$ be the Jacobian of the modular curve $X_0(N)$. In this paper we completely determine the structure of the rational cuspidal subgroup of $J_0(N)$ when the largest perfect square dividing $N$ is either…

Let $\mathcal C$ be a smooth irreducible projective curve over the complex numbers and let $G$ be a simple simply-connected complex algebraic group. Let $\mathfrak M=\mathfrak M(G,\mathcal C)$ be the moduli space of semistable principal…

For each open subgroup $G$ of ${\rm GL}_2(\hat{\mathbb{Z}})$ containing $-I$ with full determinant, let $X_G/\mathbb{Q}$ denote the modular curve that loosely parametrizes elliptic curves whose Galois representation, which arises from the…

Let $N\geq 1$ be a square-free integer such that the modular curve $X_0^*(N)$ has genus $\geq 2$. We prove that $X_0^*(N)$ is bielliptic exactly for $19$ values of $N$, and we determine the automorphism group of these bielliptic curves. In…

For a fixed $j$-invariant $j_0$ of an elliptic curve without complex multiplication we bound the number of $j$-invariants $j$ that are algebraic units and such that elliptic curves corresponding to $j$ and $j_0$ are isogenous. Our bounds…
