The modularity of elliptic curves over all but finitely many totally real fields of degree 5

We study the finiteness of low degree points on certain modular curves and their Atkin--Lehner quotients, and, as an application, prove the modularity of elliptic curves over all but finitely many totally real fields of degree $5$. On the way, we prove a criterion for the finiteness of rational points of degree $5$ on a curve of large genus over a number field using the results of Abramovich--Harris and Faltings on subvarieties of Jacobians.

The 12-th roots of the discriminant of an elliptic curve and the torsion points

Given an elliptic curve over a field of characteristic different from 2,3, its discriminant defines a $μ_{12}$-torsor over the field. In this paper, we give an explicit description of this $μ_{12}$-torsor in terms of the 3-torsion points and of the 4-torsion points on the given elliptic curve. %In addition, we show that such a description involves the Weil pairing in a certain way. As an application, we generalize a result of Coates on the 12-th root of the discriminant of an elliptic curve.
