Abstract: We say a closed point $x$ on a curve $C$ is sporadic if $C$ has only finitely many closed points of degree at most $operatornamedeg(x)$ and that $x$ is isolated if it is not in a family of effective degree $d$ divisors parametrized by $mathbb{P}^1$ or a positive rank abelian variety (see Section 4 for more precise definitions and a proof that sporadic points are isolated). Motivated by well-known classification problems concerning rational torsion of elliptic curves, we study sporadic and isolated points on the modular curves $X_1(N)$. In particular, we show that any non-cuspidal non-CM sporadic, respectively isolated, point $xin{X}_1(N)$ maps down to a sporadic, respectively isolated, point on a modular curve $X_1(d)$, where $d$ is bounded by a constant depending only on $j(x)$. Conditionally, we show that $d$ is bounded by a constant depending only on the degree of $mathbbQ(j(x))$, so in particular there are only finitely many $j$-invariants of bounded degree that give rise to sporadic or isolated points.
