Quadratic Chabauty for Atkin-Lehner Quotients of Modular Curves of Prime Level and Genus 4, 5, 6

Abstract

We use the method of quadratic Chabauty on the quotients X0+(N) of modular curves X0(N) by their Fricke involutions to provably compute all the rational points of these curves for prime levels N of genus four, five, and six. We find that the only such curves with exceptional rational points are of levels 137 and 311. In particular there are no exceptional rational points on those curves of genus five and six. More precisely, we determine the rational points on the curves X0+(N) for N=137,173,199,251,311,157,181,227,263,163,197,211,223,269,271,359.
