Divisibility of the coefficients of modular polynomials (2509.06423v1)

Abstract: Let $N>1$ and let $\Phi_N(X,Y)\in\mathbb{Z}[X,Y]$ be the modular polynomial which vanishes precisely at pairs of $j$-invariants of elliptic curves linked by a cyclic isogeny of degree $N$. In this note we study the divisibility of the coefficients $\Phi_N(X+J, Y+J)$ for certain algebraic numbers $J$, in particular $J=0$ and $J=1728$. It turns out that these coefficients are highly divisible by small primes at which $J$ is supersingular.
