The Manin constant and the modular degree. (English) Zbl 07815222

The Manin constant \(c\) of an elliptic curve \(E\) over \(\mathbb Q\) is the nonzero integer that scales the differential \(\omega_f\) determined by the normalized newform \(f\) associated to \(E\) into the pullback of a Néron differential under a minimal parametrization \(\phi: X_0(N)_{\mathbb Q} \to E\). Manin conjectured that \(c = \pm 1\) for optimal parametrizations.
“The initial theoretical results on the Manin conjecture were based on exactness properties of Néron models and showed that \(p \not | c_{\phi}\) for those \(p > 2\) at which \(E\) has semistable reduction (see [B. Mazur, Invent. Math. 44, 129–162 (1978; Zbl 0386.14009); A. Abbes and E. Ullmo, Compos. Math. 103, No. 3, 269–286 (1996; Zbl 0865.11049); A. Agashe et al., Pure Appl. Math. Q. 2, No. 2, 617–636 (2006; Zbl 1109.11032)] for some sharpenings). Note that the conclusion \(p \not | c_{\phi}\) was recently established in [K. Česnavičius, Compos. Math. 154, No. 9, 1889–1920 (2018; Zbl 1430.11086)] for all primes \(p\) of semistable reduction for \(E\) by a different method.”
The authors prove (Theorems 1.1 and 1.2) that in general \(c\) divides \(\text{deg}(\phi)\) under a minor assumption at \(2\) and \(3\) that is not needed for cube-free \(N\) or for parametrizations by \(X_1(N)_{\mathbb Q}\).
