Moduli space of genus 1 curves with a degree n divisors
I am sure this is well known, but I don't know what to search for:
Consider $M_{1,n}$, the moduli space of genus 1 curves with $n$ marked points. The symmetric group on $n$ letters acts on this space ...

picard group of moduli of elliptic r-prym curves
Let $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{1,1}$ be the DM compactification of the moduli stack of elliptic curves. Its Picard group is $\mathbb{Z}$. Let us now consider stack of $r$-prym curves $\overline{\mathcal{...

What does this quotient of the upper half plane parametrize?
Let $G(N)$ be the congruence subgroup
$\big\{ \begin{pmatrix} a&b \\ c&d \end{pmatrix} \in SL_2(\mathbb{Z}) \ \ | \ \ a \equiv d \mod N \textrm{ and } b \equiv c\equiv 0 \mod N \big\}$.
$G(...

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 ...

Moduli space of points of fixed order N on elliptic curves
Let us consider the moduli space $Y_1(N)$, parametrizing an elliptic curve, together with a choice of a point of N-torsion on it. Over the complex numbers, it is easy to see that this moduli space is ...

For which composite $N$ does $X_0(N)$ possess a non-cuspidal rational point?
According the the introduction to Mazur's Rational Isogenies of Prime Degree the following question was open in 1978:
Let $N$ be one of the integers 39, 65, 91, 125, or 169. Does the modular ...

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 ...
