Course description and aims
This course follows Advanced courses in Algebra C, building on the topics covered there, we define automorphic forms on Fuchsian groups and study algebraic structures formed by them. We introduce Hecke operators and the theory of Automorphic L-functions - analytic continuation, functional equation and Euler product, and present a famous application to the congruent number problem.
Student learning outcomes
Students are expected to understand basic notions of automorphic forms, Hecke operators and automorphic L-functions. Looking through concrete examples and applications, students get acquainted with the fundamental importance of modular forms in current research.
Keywords
Automorphic forms, Hecke operators, automorphic L-functions, Newforms, Theta-functions.
