Abstract
In this paper we study quadratic points on the non-split Cartan modular curves , for and . Recently, Siksek proved that all quadratic points on arise as pullbacks of rational points on . Using similar techniques for , and employing a version of Chabauty for symmetric powers of curves for , we show that the same holds for and . As a consequence, we prove that certain classes of elliptic curves over quadratic fields are modular.
