Course description and aims
In this course the instructor explains basics topics of L-functions associated with single-variable regular automorphic forms. Knowledge of the definition and examples of single-variable regular automorphic forms is assumed, and the instructor covers the space structures formed by automorphic forms as a whole, and Hecke operators that act on them. Using Hecke operators, automorphic L-functions are then defined, and the instructor discusses Euler product representations and analytic continuation. This course follows Advanced Topics in Algebra A, which is held immediately before it.
Automorphic L-functions are a mathematical subject at the center of modern number theory research, and are even now the subject of active research.
Student learning outcomes
The following notions are impotant:
elliptic modular forms, graded ring of modular forms, Poincare series, Hecke operators, automorphic L-functions.
The aim of this course is help the students become acquainted with these notions through concrete examples.
Keywords
