Finiteness conjecture for sporadic quadratic points on modular curves

For NZ1N\in{\mathbb Z}_{\ge 1}, let X0(N)X_0(N) be the modular curve classifying cyclic isogenies of degree NN. A quadratic point is sporadic if it is not a cusp, is isolated rather than arising from a degree-22 hyperelliptic or bielliptic covering over a rational point, and does not classify a CM elliptic curve and cyclic isogeny of degree NN of the type described in the source.

Sporadic quadratic-point conjecture. Ranging over all X0(N)X_0(N) for NZ1N\in{\mathbb Z}_{\ge 1}, 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.
