Quadratic isogenies conjecture for quadratic points on modular curves

From papers

Let X0(N)X_0(N) be the modular curve parametrizing cyclic isogenies of degree NN. A point is CM if it corresponds to an elliptic curve with complex multiplication, and a cusp is a cusp of X0(N)X_0(N). Let KK be a quadratic field and let NN be an integer.

Quadratic isogenies conjecture. There exists an integer CC, independent of KK, such that if N>CN>C, then every point

PX0(N)(K)P\in X_0(N)(K)

is either a cusp or a CM point.

This conjecture predicts that, apart from CM points, quadratic points occur on only finitely many modular curves X0(N)X_0(N), uniformly over all quadratic fields. It implies Elkies's conjecture that only finitely many NN have a non-CM, non-cuspidal rational point on the quotient X0+(N)X_0^+(N).
