Classical modular curve

In number theory, the classical modular curve is an irreducible plane algebraic curve given by an equation Φn(x, y) = 0, such that (x, y) = (j(nτ), j(τ)) is a point on the curve. Here j(τ) denotes the j-invariant. The curve is sometimes called X0(n), though often that notation is used for the abstract algebraic curve for which there exist various models. A related object is the classical modular polynomial, a polynomial in one variable defined as Φn(x, x). It is important to note that the classical modular curves are part of the larger theory of modular curves. In particular it has another expression as a compactified quotient of the complex upper half-plane H. (Wikipedia).

Modular forms: Introduction

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We introduce modular forms, and give several examples of how they were used to solve problems in apparently unrelated areas of mathematics. I will not be following any particular book, but if anyone wants a suggestion

Modular forms: Eisenstein series

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We give two ways of looking at modular forms: as functions of lattices in C, or as invariant forms. We use this to give two different ways of constructing Eisenstein series. For the other lectures in the course see http

John Voight: Computing classical modular forms as orthogonal modular forms

Abstract: Birch gave an extremely efficient algorithm to compute a certain subspace of classical modular forms using the Hecke action on classes of ternary quadratic forms. We extend this method to compute all forms of non-square level using the spinor norm, and we exhibit an implementatio

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors

Héctor H. Pastén Vásquez: Shimura curves and bounds for the abc conjecture

Abstract: I will explain some new connections between the abc conjecture and modular forms. In particular, I will outline a proof of a new unconditional estimate for the abc conjecture, which lies beyond the existing techniques in this context. The proof involves a number of tools such as

Kalani Thalagoda - Bianchi modular forms

Bianchi Modular Forms are generalizations of classical modular forms for imaginary quadratic fields. Similar to the classical case, we can use the theory of modular symbols for computation. However, when the class group of the field is non-trivial, we can only compute certain components of
