Poonen's finiteness conjecture for modular curves of fixed genus
Poonen's finiteness conjecture for modular curves of fixed genus
Let be the usual modular curve over , and call a curve over modular if there is a nonconstant morphism over for some . For each integer , consider modular curves of genus . Poonen's finiteness conjecture. For each , the set of modular curves over of genus is finite. The paper contrasts this with the genus- and genus- cases, where infinitely many modular curves occur; the conjecture concerns finiteness in every fixed genus at least , and no resolution is given here.
