Definition of modular curve associated to $\Gamma(N)$
For a positive integer $N$, we define $$\Gamma(N)=\big \{ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \newline c & d\end{bmatrix}\in \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}): \begin{bmatrix} a & b \newline c & d\end{...

A website which explains Mazur's torsion point theorem
I'm about to read Mazur's paper "Modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal".
It's so long and difficult for me, but I found a website which shows the Mazur's theorem.
This is very short and very very ...

Modular curve X(2)
Let $\mathfrak{M}(2)$ be the algberaic stack over $\mathbb{Z}[1/2]$ which classifies the elliptic curves with the two level structure and let $X(2)$ be the coarse moduli space of $\mathfrak{M}(2)$ ($X(...

Lifting a real quadratic twist of an Elliptic Curve to the modular curve
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve of conductor $N\cdot p^2$ over $\mathbb{Q}$, defined by the equation
$$y^2=x^3+p^2b\cdot x + p^3\cdot c$$
and parametrized by a map
$$X_{0}(N\cdot {p}^{2})\rightarrow E$$

Is there an elliptic surface over $Y(1)$?
Actually I have a few related questions.
Here, by $Y(1)$ I mean the affine $j$-line $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathcal{H}$.
I know $Y(1)$ is only a coarse moduli space, so there isn't a ...

Some help in digesting a paragraph in the introduction of Deligne/Rapoport's "Les Schemas de Modules de Courbes Elliptique"
http://www.springerlink.com/content/04x54gr171v556m4/fulltext.pdf
On page 149 (DeRa-7), in the middle of the page, I can translate the middle paragraph that starts "3. La surface de Riemann ..." as ...

Modular curve parametrizing two cyclic subgroups of an elliptic curve
The aim of this question is to better understand the following moduli space/modular curve, for which I propose (temporarily) the name $Y_0(M,N)$. We define $Y_0(M,N)$ as the moduli space parametrizing ...

Conceptual understanding of the Gross-Zagier theorem.
The Gross-Zagier paper "Heegner points and derivatives of $L$-series", is really computational and hard to plow through. It seems it is futile to read it as such and one must look for a more ...
