Synopsis
This book introduces the theory of modular forms, from which all rational elliptic curves arise, with an eye toward the Modularity Theorem. Discussion covers elliptic curves as complex tori and as algebraic curves; modular curves as Riemann surfaces and as algebraic curves; Hecke operators and Atkin-Lehner theory; Hecke eigenforms and their arithmetic properties; the Jacobians of modular curves and the Abelian varieties associated to Hecke eigenforms. As it presents these ideas, the book states the Modularity Theorem in various forms, relating them to each other and touching on their applications to number theory. The authors assume no background in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry. Exercises are included., This book explains a result called the Modularity Theorem: All rational elliptic curves arise from modular forms. Taniyama'rstsuggestedinthe1950'sthatastatementalongtheselinesmight be true, and a precise conjecture was formulated by Shimura. A paper of Weil [Wei67] provides strong theoretical evidence for the conjecture. The theorem was proved for a large class of elliptic curves by Wiles [Wil95] with a key ingredient supplied by joint work with Taylor [TW95], completing the proof of Fermat's Last Theorem after some 350 years. The Modularity Theorem was proved completely by Breuil, Conrad, Taylor, and the ?rst author of this book [BCDT01]. Di'erent forms of it are stated here in Chapters 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9. To describe the theorem very simply for now, ?rst consider a situation from elementary number theory. Take a quadratic equation 2 Q :x =d, d?Z,d =0, and for each prime numberp de'ne an integera (Q), p the number of solutionsx of equationQ a (Q)= ?1. p working modulop The valuesa (Q) extend multiplicatively to valuesa (Q) for all positive - p n tegersn, meaning thata (Q)=a (Q)a (Q) for allm andn., This book introduces the theory of modular forms, from which all rational elliptic curves arise, with an eye toward the Modularity Theorem. The topics covered include: elliptic curves as complex tori and as algebraic curves, modular curves as Riemann surfaces and as algebraic curves, Hecke operators and Atkin-Lehner theory, Hecke eigenforms and their arithmetic properties, the Jacobians of modular curves and the Abelian varieties associated to Hecke eigenforms, elliptic and modular curves modulo p and the Eichler-Shimura Relation, the Galois representations associated to elliptic curves and to Hecke eigenforms. As it presents these ideas, the book states the Modularity Theorem in various forms, relating them to each other and touching on their applications to number theory. A First Course in Modular Forms is intended for beginning graduate students and advanced undergraduates. It does not require background in algebraic number theory or algebraic geometry, and it contains exercises, This book introduces the theory of modular forms, from which all rational elliptic curves arise, with an eye toward the Modularity Theorem.
