Finiteness conjecture for sporadic quadratic points on modular curves
For , let be the modular curve classifying cyclic isogenies of degree . A quadratic point is sporadic if it is not a cusp, is isolated rather than arising from a degree- hyperelliptic or bielliptic covering over a rational point, and does not classify a CM elliptic curve and cyclic isogeny of degree of the type described in the source.
Sporadic quadratic-point conjecture. Ranging over all for , there are only finitely many sporadic quadratic points.
Quadratic points coming from hyperelliptic and bielliptic coverings, or from CM elliptic curves over the listed class-number-one imaginary quadratic fields, are excluded because they form expected families. The conjecture asserts finiteness of the remaining exceptional points.
