Rational points on hyperelliptic Atkin-Lehner quotients of modular curves and their coverings
Abstract
We complete the computation of all Q-rational points on all the 64 maximal Atkin-Lehner quotients X0(N)* such that the quotient is hyperelliptic. To achieve this, we use a combination of various methods, namely the classical Chabauty--Coleman, elliptic curve Chabauty, quadratic Chabauty, and the bielliptic quadratic Chabauty method combined with the Mordell-Weil sieve. Additionally, for square-free levels N, we classify all Q-rational points as cusps, CM points (including their CM field and j-invariants) and exceptional ones. We further indicate how to use this to compute the Q-rational points on all of their modular coverings.
