The modularity of some Q-curves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 December 2007
Abstract
A Q-curve is an elliptic curve, defined over a number field, that is isogenous to each of its Galois conjugates. Ribet showed that Serre's conjectures imply that such curves should be modular. Let E be an elliptic curve defined over a quadratic field such that E is 3-isogenous to its Galois conjugate. We give an algorithm for proving any such E is modular and give an explicit example involving a quotient of $J_o$ (169). As a by-product, we obtain a pair of 19-isogenous elliptic curves, and relate this to the existence of a rational point of order 19 on $J_1$ (13).
