On the possible images of the mod ell representations associated to elliptic curves over Q
read the original abstract
Consider a non-CM elliptic curve $E$ defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. For each prime $\ell$, there is a representation $\rho_{E,\ell}: G \to GL_2(\mathbb{F}_\ell)$ that describes the Galois action on the $\ell$-torsion points of $E$, where $G$ is the absolute Galois group of $\mathbb{Q}$. A famous theorem of Serre says that $\rho_{E,\ell}$ is surjective for all large enough $\ell$. We will describe all known, and conjecturally all, pairs $(E,\ell)$ such that $\rho_{E,\ell}$ is not surjective. Together with another paper, this produces an algorithm that given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$, outputs the set of such exceptional primes $\ell$ and describes all the groups $\rho_{E,\ell}(G)$ up to conjugacy. Much of the paper is dedicated to computing various modular curves of genus $0$ with their morphisms to the $j$-line.

Arithmetic intersections on non-split Cartan modular curves
Arithmetic intersection numbers of CM divisors on X_ns^+(p) are determined at all finite primes when p is inert, via a new moduli interpretation of the smooth locus in the regular integral model.

On Galois Embedding Problems Arising from 3-Torsion of Elliptic Curves
Solvability of Galois embedding problems arising from 3-torsion of elliptic curves over Q is equivalent to the existence of infinitely many elliptic curves with the corresponding 3-division fields, for all possible im...

The Smallest Invariant Factor of Elliptic Curves, and Coincidences
For non-CM elliptic curves over Q, the Cojocaru constant C_E,j is positive except when there are coincidences of division fields, which the authors classify in several abelian families.
