    In this article, the authors study the modular curve \(X'(6)\) of level \(6\) of which \(\mathbb Q\)-rational points parametrize isomorphic classes of elliptic curves \(E\) rational over \(\mathbb Q\) with the property that \(\mathbb Q(E[2])\subset \mathbb Q(E[3])\), where \(E[m]\) denotes the \(m\)-torsion group of \(E\) for a positive integer \(m\). Let \(j\) be the modular invariant function. Then they show that \(X'(6)\) is of genus \(0\) and is defined by the equation: \(2^{10}3^3t^3(1-4t^3)-j=0\). This result implies that for any elliptic curve \(E\) rational over \(\mathbb Q\), \(E\) is isomorphic over \(\overline{\mathbb Q}\) to an elliptic curve \(E'\) satisfying \(\mathbb Q(E'[2])\subset \mathbb Q(E'[3])\) if and only if the invariant of \(E\) is given by \(2^{10}3^3t^3(1-4t^3)\) for some \(t\in\mathbb Q\). Further, they use the curve \(X'(6)\) to complete the list of modular curves which parametrize non-Serre curves and to give an infinite family of examples of elliptic curves with non-abelian ``entanglement fields''.
