Abstract

A Q-curve is an elliptic curve over a number field K which is geometrically isogenous to each of its Galois conjugates. K. Ribet [17] asked whether every Q-curve is modular, and he showed that a positive answer would follow from J.-P. Serre's conjecture on mod p Galois representations. We answer Ribet's question in the affirmative, subject to certain local conditions at 3.
