Abstract
Let be a non-CM elliptic curve defined over . Fix an algebraic closure of . We get a Galois representation associated to by choosing a compatible bases for the -torsion subgroups of Associated to an open subgroup of satisfying and , we have the modular curve over which loosely parametrises elliptic curves such that the image of is conjugate to a subgroup of In this article we give a complete classification of all such genus modular curves that have a rational point. This classification is given in finitely many families. Moreover, each such modular curve can be explicitly computed.
