Mennicke's modularity conjecture for elliptic curves over imaginary quadratic fields

About 9 years old · traced to

Let KK be an imaginary quadratic field of class number 11, and let EE be an elliptic curve over KK without complex multiplication by an order in KK. Say that EE is modular if L(E,s)=L(F,s)L(E,s)=L(F,s) for some F∈S2(id⁡n)F\in S_2(\operatorname{id}{n}) over KK, where id⁡n\operatorname{id}{n} is the conductor of EE.

Mennicke's modularity conjecture. Every such elliptic curve EE is modular.

Some cases are known, and under mild hypotheses every such curve is potentially modular. Curves with complex multiplication are excluded because they correspond to Hecke characters and non-cuspidal modular forms.

Every elliptic curve over every imaginary quadratic field, with all local parameters matching. This includes the target class-number-one non-CM range. CM cases handled by automorphic induction/isobaric sums.
