Abstract
We determine all the quadratic points on the genus modular curve , thus completing the answer to a recent question of Banwait, the second-named author, and Padurariu. In doing so, we investigate a curious phenomenon involving a cubic point with complex multiplication on the curve . This cubic point prevents us, due to computational restraints, from directly applying the state-of-the-art Atkin--Lehner sieve for computing quadratic points on modular curves . To overcome this issue, we introduce a technique which allows us to work with the Jacobian of curves modulo primes by directly computing linear equivalence relations between divisors.
