Bielliptic modular curves X0* (N)

Let N ≥ 1 be a integer such that the modular curve X0* (N) has genus ≥ 2. We prove that X0* (N) is bielliptic exactly for 69 values of N. In particular, we obtain that X0* (N) is bielliptic over the base field for all these values of N, except X0*(160) that is not bielliptic over Q but it does over...

Description
Summary:Let N ≥ 1 be a integer such that the modular curve X0* (N) has genus ≥ 2. We prove that X0* (N) is bielliptic exactly for 69 values of N. In particular, we obtain that X0* (N) is bielliptic over the base field for all these values of N, except X0*(160) that is not bielliptic over Q but it does over Q(√-1). Moreover, we prove that the set of all quadratic points over Q for the modular curve X0* (N) is infinite exactly for 100 values of N.
