Course description and aims
This course covers basic topics of single-variable regular automorphic forms. Building on basic undergraduate level knowledge, basic properties of the Riemann zeta function are proven, and students are introduced to the theory of automorphic L-functions. Single-variable regular automorphic forms are then defined, and students become familiar with specific treatments of the materials through several examples. This course is followed by Advanced courses in Algebra B.
Automorphic forms are the foundation of modern number theory, and are an important mathematical subject related to a variety of fields such as group representation theory, the geometry of numbers, and theoretical physics.
Student learning outcomes
The following concepts are especially important:
Riemann Zeta function (Euler product, analytic continuation, special values), elliptic automorphic form, Fourier coefficient, Eisenstein series.
Students will become familiar with these concepts, and learn the skills for calculating examples on their own.
Keywords
Modular forms, modular groups, zeta functions
