We present a new algorithm to compute the classical modular polynomial Phi_n
in the rings Z[X,Y] and (Z/mZ)[X,Y], for a prime n and any positive integer m.
Our approach uses the graph of n-isogenies to efficiently compute Phi_n mod p
for many primes p of a suitable form, and then applies the Chinese Remainder
Theorem (CRT). Under the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH), we achieve an
expected running time of O(n^3 (log n)^3 log log n), and compute Phi_n mod m
using O(n^2 (log n)^2 + n^2 log m) space. We have used the new algorithm to
compute Phi_n with n over 5000, and Phi_n mod m with n over 20000. We also
consider several modular functions g for which Phi_n^g is smaller than Phi_n,
allowing us to handle n over 60000.Comment: corrected a typo in equation (14), 31 page
