This research identifies modular curves with infinitely many degree 4 points over Q, highlighting methods for rational morphisms to elliptic curves.
For every group \±1\⊆ Δ⊆ ( Z/N Z)^×, there exists an intermediate modular curve X_Δ(N). In this paper we determine all curves X_Δ(N) with infinitely many points of degree $4$ over Q. To do that, we developed a method to compute possible degrees of rational morphisms from X_Δ(N) to an elliptic curve.
