Summer School 2017: Modular Forms

2021   2020   2019   2018   2017   2016   2015   2014   2013   2012

From May 22 to May 26, 2017, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro will host the UNCG Summer School in Computational Number Theory: Modular Forms.

Modular forms play an increasingly important role in number theory and arithmetic geometry. The main focus of the summer school is the study of computational aspects of modular forms and related objects. Topics may include classical modular forms and modular symbols, group cohomology and Galois representations, and lattice enumeration and isometry testing techniques to compute with spaces of modular forms for compact forms of classical groups.
