Ring Of Modular Forms
In mathematics, the ring of modular forms associated to a subgroup of the special linear group is the graded ring generated by the modular forms of . The study of rings of modular forms describes the algebraic structure of the space of modular forms. Definition Let be a subgroup of that is of finite index and let be the vector space of modular forms of weight . The ring of modular forms of is the graded ring M(\Gamma) = \bigoplus_ M_k(\Gamma). Example The ring of modular forms of the full modular group is freely generated by the Eisenstein series and . In other words, is isomorphic as a \mathbb-algebra to \mathbb _4, E_6/math>, which is the polynomial ring of two variables over the complex numbers. Properties The ring of modular forms is a graded Lie algebra since the Lie bracket ,g= kfg' - \ell f'g of modular forms and of respective weights and is a modular form of weight . A bracket can be defined for the -th derivative of modular forms and such a bracket ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Subgroup
In group theory, a branch of mathematics, given a group ''G'' under a binary operation ∗, a subset ''H'' of ''G'' is called a subgroup of ''G'' if ''H'' also forms a group under the operation ∗. More precisely, ''H'' is a subgroup of ''G'' if the restriction of ∗ to is a group operation on ''H''. This is often denoted , read as "''H'' is a subgroup of ''G''". The trivial subgroup of any group is the subgroup consisting of just the identity element. A proper subgroup of a group ''G'' is a subgroup ''H'' which is a proper subset of ''G'' (that is, ). This is often represented notationally by , read as "''H'' is a proper subgroup of ''G''". Some authors also exclude the trivial group from being proper (that is, ). If ''H'' is a subgroup of ''G'', then ''G'' is sometimes called an overgroup of ''H''. The same definitions apply more generally when ''G'' is an arbitrary semigroup, but this article will only deal with subgroups of groups. Subgroup tests Suppose th ...

Congruence Subgroup
In mathematics, a congruence subgroup of a matrix group with integer entries is a subgroup defined by congruence conditions on the entries. A very simple example would be invertible matrix, invertible 2 × 2 integer matrices of determinant 1, in which the off-diagonal entries are ''even''. More generally, the notion of congruence subgroup can be defined for arithmetic subgroups of algebraic groups; that is, those for which we have a notion of 'integral structure' and can define reduction maps modulo an integer. The existence of congruence subgroups in an arithmetic group provides it with a wealth of subgroups, in particular it shows that the group is residually finite. An important question regarding the algebraic structure of arithmetic groups is the congruence subgroup problem, which asks whether all subgroups of finite Index of a subgroup, index are essentially congruence subgroups. Congruence subgroups of 2×2 matrices are fundamental objects in the classical the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Stacky Curve
In mathematics, a stacky curve is an object in algebraic geometry that is roughly an algebraic curve with potentially "fractional points" called stacky points. A stacky curve is a type of stack used in studying Gromov–Witten theory, enumerative geometry, and rings of modular forms. Stacky curves are closely related to 1-dimensional orbifolds and therefore sometimes called orbifold curves or orbicurves. Definition A stacky curve \mathfrak over a field is a smooth proper geometrically connected Deligne–Mumford stack of dimension 1 over that contains a dense open subscheme. Properties A stacky curve is uniquely determined (up to isomorphism) by its coarse space (a smooth quasi-projective curve over ), a finite set of points (its stacky points) and integers (its ramification orders) greater than 1. The canonical divisor of \mathfrak is linearly equivalent to the sum of the canonical divisor of and a ramification divisor : :K_\mathfrak \sim K_X + R. Letting be t ...

Canonical Ring
In mathematics, the pluricanonical ring of an algebraic variety ''V'' (which is non-singular), or of a complex manifold, is the graded ring :R(V,K)=R(V,K_V) \, of sections of powers of the canonical bundle ''K''. Its ''n''th graded component (for n\geq 0) is: :R_n := H^0(V, K^n),\ that is, the space of sections of the ''n''-th tensor product ''K''''n'' of the canonical bundle ''K''. The 0th graded component R_0 is sections of the trivial bundle, and is one-dimensional as ''V'' is projective. The projective variety defined by this graded ring is called the canonical model of ''V'', and the dimension of the canonical model is called the Kodaira dimension of ''V''. One can define an analogous ring for any line bundle ''L'' over ''V''; the analogous dimension is called the Iitaka dimension. A line bundle is called big if the Iitaka dimension equals the dimension of the variety. Properties Birational invariance The canonical ring and therefore likewise the Kodaira dimension is a b ...

Algebraic Geometry And Analytic Geometry
In mathematics, algebraic geometry and analytic geometry are two closely related subjects. While algebraic geometry studies algebraic varieties, analytic geometry deals with complex manifolds and the more general analytic spaces defined locally by the vanishing of analytic functions of several complex variables. The deep relation between these subjects has numerous applications in which algebraic techniques are applied to analytic spaces and analytic techniques to algebraic varieties. Main statement Let ''X'' be a projective complex algebraic variety. Because ''X'' is a complex variety, its set of complex points ''X''(C) can be given the structure of a compact complex analytic space. This analytic space is denoted ''X''an. Similarly, if \mathcal is a sheaf on ''X'', then there is a corresponding sheaf \mathcal^\text on ''X''an. This association of an analytic object to an algebraic one is a functor. The prototypical theorem relating ''X'' and ''X''an says that for any t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Upper Half-plane
In mathematics, the upper half-plane, \,\mathcal\,, is the set of points in the Cartesian plane with > 0. Complex plane Mathematicians sometimes identify the Cartesian plane with the complex plane, and then the upper half-plane corresponds to the set of complex numbers with positive imaginary part: :\mathcal \equiv \ ~. The term arises from a common visualization of the complex number as the point in the plane endowed with Cartesian coordinates. When the axis is oriented vertically, the "upper half-plane" corresponds to the region above the axis and thus complex numbers for which > 0. It is the domain of many functions of interest in complex analysis, especially modular forms. The lower half-plane, defined by 0. Proposition: Let ''A'' and ''B'' be semicircles in the upper half-plane with centers on the boundary. Then there is an affine mapping that takes ''A'' to ''B''. :Proof: First shift the center of ''A'' to (0,0). Then take λ = (diame ...

Orbifold
In the mathematical disciplines of topology and geometry, an orbifold (for "orbit-manifold") is a generalization of a manifold. Roughly speaking, an orbifold is a topological space which is locally a finite group quotient of a Euclidean space. Definitions of orbifold have been given several times: by Ichirô Satake in the context of automorphic forms in the 1950s under the name ''V-manifold''; by William Thurston in the context of the geometry of 3-manifolds in the 1970s when he coined the name ''orbifold'', after a vote by his students; and by André Haefliger in the 1980s in the context of Mikhail Gromov's programme on CAT(k) spaces under the name ''orbihedron''. Historically, orbifolds arose first as surfaces with singular points long before they were formally defined. One of the first classical examples arose in the theory of modular forms with the action of the modular group \mathrm(2,\Z) on the upper half-plane: a version of the Riemann–Roch theorem holds after the ...

Fuchsian Group
In mathematics, a Fuchsian group is a discrete subgroup of PSL(2,R). The group PSL(2,R) can be regarded equivalently as a group of isometries of the hyperbolic plane, or conformal transformations of the unit disc, or conformal transformations of the upper half plane, so a Fuchsian group can be regarded as a group acting on any of these spaces. There are some variations of the definition: sometimes the Fuchsian group is assumed to be finitely generated, sometimes it is allowed to be a subgroup of PGL(2,R) (so that it contains orientation-reversing elements), and sometimes it is allowed to be a Kleinian group (a discrete subgroup of PSL(2,C)) which is conjugate to a subgroup of PSL(2,R). Fuchsian groups are used to create Fuchsian models of Riemann surfaces. In this case, the group may be called the Fuchsian group of the surface. In some sense, Fuchsian groups do for non-Euclidean geometry what crystallographic groups do for Euclidean geometry. Some Escher graphics are based on t ...

Presentation Of A Group
In mathematics, a presentation is one method of specifying a group. A presentation of a group ''G'' comprises a set ''S'' of generators—so that every element of the group can be written as a product of powers of some of these generators—and a set ''R'' of relations among those generators. We then say ''G'' has presentation :\langle S \mid R\rangle. Informally, ''G'' has the above presentation if it is the "freest group" generated by ''S'' subject only to the relations ''R''. Formally, the group ''G'' is said to have the above presentation if it is isomorphic to the quotient of a free group on ''S'' by the normal subgroup generated by the relations ''R''. As a simple example, the cyclic group of order ''n'' has the presentation :\langle a \mid a^n = 1\rangle, where 1 is the group identity. This may be written equivalently as :\langle a \mid a^n\rangle, thanks to the convention that terms that do not include an equals sign are taken to be equal to the group identity. S ...
