Serre's uniformity in the split Cartan case
[ Abstract ]
We show that, for large enough prime number p, the modular curve
X_{split}(p) has no other point with values in Q than CM points and the rational cusp. This gives a partial answer to an old question of J.-P. Serre concerning the uniform surjectivity of Galois representations associated to torsion points on elliptic curves without complex multiplication.
