MATH 7359 — Elliptic Curves and Modular Forms
4 semester hoursGraduateLecturetypical days: M/ThBostonTraditional
Introduces elliptic curves and modular forms. Examines elliptic curves as algebraic varieties over the complex numbers, finite fields, and local and global fields. Related topics include the j-invariant, the Tate module and the Weil pairing, zeta functions and the Weil conjectures, and the Mordell-Weil theorem. Modular forms are defined on moduli spaces of elliptic curves. Related topics include Eisenstein series, cusp forms, congruence subgroups of SL2(Z), modularity and the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture, and Fermat’s Last Theorem.
