A. The main result of this paper is to determine the structure of the rational torsion subgroup of the modular Jacobian variety J 0 (N ) for any positive integer N up to finitely many primes. More precisely, we prove that the prime-to-2n part of the rational torsion subgroup of J 0 (N ) is equal to that of the rational cuspidal divisor class group of X 0 (N ), where n is the largest perfect square dividing 3N . As the rational cuspidal divisor class group of X 0 (N ) is already computed in [28], it determines the structure of the rational torsion subgroup of J 0 (N ) up to primes dividing 2n.
CConjecture 1.3. For any positive integer N, we haveBefore proceeding, we recall several results on the conjectures above. For simplicity, let C(N) (n) and J 0 (N)(Q)(n) tors denote the prime-to-n parts of C(N) and J 0 (N)(Q) tors , respectively. Also, letdenote the p-primary subgroups of C(N) and J 0 (N)(Q) tors , respectively.(1) For a prime p ≥ 5 such that p ≡ 11 (mod 12) and r ≥ 2, we haveby Lorenzini (1995) [11, Th. 4.6].(2) For any prime p and r ≥ 3, we haveby Ling (1997) [10, Th. 4].(3) For a squarefree integer N, we havewhere n = gcd(3, N) by Ohta (2014) [16, Th.].1 By a rational cuspidal divisor, we mean a divisor supported only on the cusps and fixed under the action of Gal(Q/Q).
