Uniqueness of the degree greater than one morphism from
Let be a prime. Write for the quotient of the modular curve by its usual involution. Uniqueness conjecture. Up to isomorphism, the quotient map
is the only non-constant rational morphism of degree from to a curve of genus at least . This conjecture is motivated by the stated results for primes below and for primes whose Jacobians satisfy the given decomposition hypothesis; the numerical evidence in the source suggests that the decomposition hypothesis applies to an increasing proportion of prime levels, but the assertion for all primes remains open.
