Abstract

In this paper we compute the gonality over Q of the modular curve X1(N) for all N ≤ 40 and give upper bounds for each N ≤ 250. This allows us to determine all N for which X1(N) has infinitely points of degree ≤8. We conjecture that the modular units of Q(X1(N)) are freely generated by f2, . . . , f⌊N/2⌋ +1 where f k is obtained from the equation for X1(k).
