Isogeny Covariant Differential Modular Forms and the Space of Elliptic Curves up to Isogeny

The purpose of this article is to develop the theory of differential modular forms introduced by A. Buium. The main points are the construction of many isogeny covariant differential modular forms and some auxiliary (nonisogeny covariant) forms and an extension of the classical theory of Serre differential operators on modular forms to a theory of -Serre differential operators on differential modular forms. As an application, we shall give a geometric realization of the space of elliptic curves up to isogeny.     

Special Points on the Product of Two Modular Curves

We prove, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis for imaginary quadratic fields, the following special case of a conjecture of Oort, concerning Zarsiski closures of sets of CM points in Shimura varieties. Let X be an irreducible algebraic curve in C², containing infinitely many points of which both coordinates are j-invariants of CM elliptic curves. Suppose that both projections from X to C are not constant. Then there is an integer m 1such that X is the image, under the usual map, of the modular curve Y₂0(m). The proof uses some number theory and some topological arguments.     

On the Group of Automorphisms of Shimura Curves and Applications

Let V _D be the Shimura curve over attached to the indefinite rational quaternion algebra of discriminant D. In this note we investigate the group of automorphisms of V _D and prove that, in many cases, it is the Atkin–Lehner group. Moreover, we determine the family of bielliptic Shimura curves over and over and we use it to study the set of rational points on V _D over quadratic fields. Finally, we obtain explicit equations of elliptic Atkin–Lehner quotients of V _D .     

Isogeny Covariant Differential Modular Forms Modulo p

An interesting theory arises when the classical theory of modular forms is expanded to include differential analogs of modular forms. One of the main motivations for expanding the theory of modular forms is the existence of differential modular forms with a remarkable property, called isogeny covariance, that classical modular forms cannot possess. Among isogeny covariant differential modular forms there exists a particular modular form that plays a central role in the theory. The main result presented in the article will be the explicit computation modulo p of this fundamental isogeny covariant differential modular form.     

Congruences between Modular Forms, Cyclic Isogenies of Modular Elliptic Curves, and Integrality of -Functions

Let be a congruence subgroup of type and of level . We study congruences between weight 2 normalized newforms and Eisenstein series on modulo a prime above a rational prime . Assume that , is a common eigenfunction for all Hecke operators and is ordinary at . We show that the abelian variety associated to and the cuspidal subgroup associated to intersect non-trivially in their -torsion points. Let be a modular elliptic curve over with good ordinary reduction at . We apply the above result to show that an isogeny of degree divisible by from the optimal curve in the -isogeny class of elliptic curves containing to extends to an étale morphism of Néron models over if . We use this to show that -adic distributions associated to the -adic -functions of are -valued.

     

On Picard Modular Forms

We study moduli spaces of principally polarized abelian varieties with an automorphism of finite order. After some examples (e. g. hermitian modular forms) we compute the ring of Picard modular forms in the case considered by Picard.     

On Modular Forms Arising from a Differential Equation of Hypergeometric Type

Modular and quasimodular solutions of a specific second order differential equation in the upper-half plane, which originates from a study of supersingular j-invariants in the first author's work with Don Zagier, are given explicitly. Positivity of Fourier coefficients of some of the solutions as well as a characterization of the differential equation are also discussed.     

Modular Shimura varieties and forgetful maps

In this note we consider several maps that occur naturally between modular Shimura varieties, Hilbert-Blumenthal varieties and the moduli spaces of polarized abelian varieties when forgetting certain endomorphism structures. We prove that, up to birational equivalences, these forgetful maps coincide with the natural projection by suitable abelian groups of Atkin-Lehner involutions.

     

Congruence Restricted Modular Forms

Given f(z), a modular form on a congruence subgroup (of the full modular group), we construct the function f(z;r,t) by summing over the terms of the Fourier expansion of f(z) with index congruent to r modulo t. In this paper, we determine a condition on the multiplier system of f(z) which guarantees that f(z;r,t) is itself a modular form on a (smaller) congruence subgroup.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary—11F11; Secondary—11F30     

On Shimura, Shintani and Eichler-Zagier correspondences

In this paper, we set up Shimura and Shintani correspondences between Jacobi forms and modular forms of integral weight for arbitrary level and character, and generalize the Eichler-Zagier isomorphism between Jacobi forms and modular forms of half-integral weight to higher levels. Using this together with the known results, we get a strong multiplicity 1 theorem in certain cases for both Jacobi cusp newforms and half-integral weight cusp newforms. As a consequence, we get, among other results, the explicit Waldspurger theorem.

     

Heegner Divisors and Nonholomorphic Modular Forms

We consider an embedded modular curve in a locally symmetric space M attached to an orthogonal group of signature (p, 2) and associate to it a nonholomorphic elliptic modular form by integrating a certain theta function over the modular curve. We compute the Fourier expansion and identify the generating series of the (suitably defined) intersection numbers of the Heegner divisors in M with the modular curve as the holomorphic part of the modular form. This recovers and generalizes parts of work of Hirzebruch and Zagier.

Poincaré Series and Hilbert Modular Forms

In this paper, we bound the square moment of the linear form in the Fourier coefficients of Hilbert modular forms by means of Poincaré series, and obtain sharp estimate on the critical line for the fourth moment of L-functions associated with Hilbert cusp forms which are primitive Hecke eigenforms.     

Iwasawa Theory for Elliptic Curves at Unstable Primes

In this paper we examine the Iwasawa theory of modular elliptic curves E defined over Q without semi-stable reduction at p. By constructing p-adic L-functions at primes of additive reduction, we formulate a "Main Conjecture" linking this L-function with a certain Selmer group for E over the Zp-extension. Thus the leading term is expressible in terms of III_E, E(Q)_tors and a p-adic regulator term.

Generating Jacobi Forms

In this paper we explore the relationship between vector-valued modular forms and Jacobi forms and give explicit relations over various congruence subgroups. The main result is that a Jacobi form of square-free index on the full Jacobi group is uniquely determined by any of the associated vector components. In addition, an explicit construction is given to determine the other vector components from this single component. In other words, we give an explicit construction of a Jacobi form from a subset of its Fourier coefficients. This leads to results about how the transformation properties are affected by congruence restrictions on the Fourier expansion. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary—11F50; Secondary—11F30     

Partitions: At the Interface of q-Series and Modular Forms

In this paper we explore five topics from the theory of partitions: (1) the Rademacher conjecture, (2) the Herschel-Cayley-Sylvester formulas, (3) the asymptotic expansions of E.M. Wright, (4) the asymptotics of mock theta function coefficients, (5) modular transformations of q-series.     

A note on a question of J. Nekovár and the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture

Heights of CM Points on Complex Affine Curves

In this note we show that, assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis for quadratic imaginary fields, an irreducible algebraic curve in is modular if and only if it contains a CM point of sufficiently large height. This is an effective version of a theorem of Edixhoven.
