The quotient of the upper half plane by Γ1(N), acting by fractional linear transformations, is the complex manifold associated to an affine algebraic curve Y1(N)/C. This curve has a natural model Y1(N)/Q, which for N > 3 is a fine moduli scheme for elliptic curves with a point of exact order N . We will let X1(N) denote the smooth projective curve which contains Y1(N) as a dense Zariski open su...
