Galbraith's exceptional-point conjecture for Atkin–Lehner quotients

About 4 years old · traced to

For an integer N>1N>1, let wNw_N denote the Atkin–Lehner involution on the modular curve X0(N)X_0(N), and let

X0+(N)=X0(N)/⟨wN⟩X^+_0(N)=X_0(N)/\langle w_N\rangle

be the Atkin–Lehner quotient. Write gN+g^+_N for the genus of X0+(N)X^+_0(N). A non-cuspidal rational point on X0+(N)X^+_0(N) is exceptional if the associated elliptic curves do not have complex multiplication.

Galbraith's conjecture. If 2≤gN+≤52\leq g^+_N\leq 5, then X0+(N)X^+_0(N) contains exceptional rational points if and only if

N∈{73,91,103,125,137,191,311}.N\in\{73,91,103,125,137,191,311\}.

The conjecture predicts that exceptional rational points, equivalently certain quadratic Q\mathbb{Q}-curves without complex multiplication, occur only at these levels among the specified genera. The paper states that its computation of X0+(125)(Q)X^+_0(125)(\mathbb{Q}), together with work of several authors, completes the proof of Galbraith's conjecture.
