Course: Elliptic modular forms and their applications
Program:
- 1. Modular groups, modular functions, modular forms. Fundamental domains. Finite dimensionality of spaces of modular forms.
- 2. Eisenstein series, the discriminant.
- 3. Theta-series.
- 4. Hecke eigenseries and L-series.
- 5. Differential operators: derivatives of modular forms, Rankin-Cohen brackets, quasi-modular forms.
- 6. Complex multiplication.
Course might be useful for those interested in arithmetics and geometry.
Prerequisites: knowledge of basic algebra, complex analysis (Cauchy formula) and differentiation.
