Abstract
A strongly modular Q-curve is an elliptic curve over a number field whose L-function is a product of L-functions of classical weight 2 newforms. We address the problem of deciding when an elliptic curve has a strongly modular model, showing that this holds precisely when the curve has a model that is completely defined over an abelian number field. The proof relies on Galois cohomological methods. When the curve is defined over a quadratic or biquadratic field, we show how to find all of its strongly modular twists, using exclusively the arithmetic of the base field. This is joint work with Peter Bruin.
