Base Change Lifting
In mathematics, base change lifting is a method of constructing new automorphic forms from old ones, that corresponds in Langlands philosophy to the operation of restricting a representation of a Galois group to a subgroup. The Doi–Naganuma lifting from 1967 was a precursor of the base change lifting. Base change lifting was introduced by for Hilbert modular form In mathematics, a Hilbert modular form is a generalization of modular forms to functions of two or more variables. It is a (complex) analytic function on the ''m''-fold product of upper half-planes \mathcal satisfying a certain kind of functional e ...s of cyclic totally real fields of prime degree, by comparing the trace of twisted Hecke operators on Hilbert modular forms with the trace of Hecke operators on ordinary modular forms. gave a representation theoretic interpretation of Saito's results and used this to generalize them. extended the base change lifting to more general automorphic forms and showed how to u ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Automorphic Form
In harmonic analysis and number theory, an automorphic form is a well-behaved function from a topological group ''G'' to the complex numbers (or complex vector space) which is invariant under the action of a discrete subgroup \Gamma \subset G of the topological group. Automorphic forms are a generalization of the idea of periodic functions in Euclidean space to general topological groups. Modular forms are holomorphic automorphic forms defined over the groups SL(2, R) or PSL(2, R) with the discrete subgroup being the modular group, or one of its congruence subgroups; in this sense the theory of automorphic forms is an extension of the theory of modular forms. More generally, one can use the adelic approach as a way of dealing with the whole family of congruence subgroups at once. From this point of view, an automorphic form over the group ''G''(A''F''), for an algebraic group ''G'' and an algebraic number field ''F'', is a complex-valued function on ''G''(A''F'') that is left ...

Langlands Philosophy
In representation theory and algebraic number theory, the Langlands program is a web of far-reaching and influential conjectures about connections between number theory and geometry. Proposed by , it seeks to relate Galois groups in algebraic number theory to automorphic forms and representation theory of algebraic groups over local fields and adeles. Widely seen as the single biggest project in modern mathematical research, the Langlands program has been described by Edward Frenkel as "a kind of grand unified theory of mathematics." The Langlands program consists of some very complicated theoretical abstractions, which can be difficult even for specialist mathematicians to grasp. To oversimplify, the fundamental lemma of the project posits a direct connection between the generalized fundamental representation of a finite field with its group extension to the automorphic forms under which it is invariant. This is accomplished through abstraction to higher dimensional integration ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Galois Group
In mathematics, in the area of abstract algebra known as Galois theory, the Galois group of a certain type of field extension is a specific group associated with the field extension. The study of field extensions and their relationship to the polynomials that give rise to them via Galois groups is called Galois theory, so named in honor of Évariste Galois who first discovered them. For a more elementary discussion of Galois groups in terms of permutation groups, see the article on Galois theory. Definition Suppose that E is an extension of the field F (written as E/F and read "''E'' over ''F'' "). An automorphism of E/F is defined to be an automorphism of E that fixes F pointwise. In other words, an automorphism of E/F is an isomorphism \alpha:E\to E such that \alpha(x) = x for each x\in F. The set of all automorphisms of E/F forms a group with the operation of function composition. This group is sometimes denoted by \operatorname(E/F). If E/F is a Galois extension, the ...

Doi–Naganuma Lifting
In mathematics, the Doi–Naganuma lifting is a map from elliptic modular forms to Hilbert modular forms of a real quadratic field, introduced by and . It was a precursor of the base change lifting. It is named for Japanese mathematicians Kōji Doi (土井公二） and Hidehisa Naganuma (長沼英久). See also *Saito–Kurokawa lift In mathematics, the Saito–Kurokawa lift (or lifting) takes elliptic modular forms to Siegel modular forms of degree 2.

Hilbert Modular Form
In mathematics, a Hilbert modular form is a generalization of modular forms to functions of two or more variables. It is a (complex) analytic function on the ''m''-fold product of upper half-planes \mathcal satisfying a certain kind of functional equation. Definition Let ''F'' be a totally real number field of degree ''m'' over the rational field. Let \sigma_1, \ldots, \sigma_m be the real embeddings of ''F''. Through them we have a map :GL_2(F) \to GL_2(\R)^m. Let \mathcal O_F be the ring of integers of ''F''. The group GL_2^+(\mathcal O_F) is called the ''full Hilbert modular group''. For every element z = (z_1, \ldots, z_m) \in \mathcal^m, there is a group action of GL_2^+ (\mathcal O_F) defined by \gamma \cdot z = (\sigma_1(\gamma) z_1, \ldots, \sigma_m(\gamma) z_m) For :g = \begina & b \\ c & d \end \in GL_2(\R), define: :j(g, z) = \det(g)^ (cz+d) A Hilbert modular form of weight (k_1,\ldots,k_m) is an analytic function on \mathcal^m such that for every \gamma \in GL_2^ ...

Hecke Operator
In mathematics, in particular in the theory of modular forms, a Hecke operator, studied by , is a certain kind of "averaging" operator that plays a significant role in the structure of vector spaces of modular forms and more general automorphic representations. History used Hecke operators on modular forms in a paper on the special cusp form of Ramanujan, ahead of the general theory given by . Mordell proved that the Ramanujan tau function, expressing the coefficients of the Ramanujan form, : \Delta(z)=q\left(\prod_^(1-q^n)\right)^= \sum_^ \tau(n)q^n, \quad q=e^, is a multiplicative function: : \tau(mn)=\tau(m)\tau(n) \quad \text (m,n)=1. The idea goes back to earlier work of Adolf Hurwitz, who treated algebraic correspondences between modular curves which realise some individual Hecke operators. Mathematical description Hecke operators can be realized in a number of contexts. The simplest meaning is combinatorial, namely as taking for a given integer some functio ...

Galois Extension
In mathematics, a Galois extension is an algebraic field extension ''E''/''F'' that is normal and separable; or equivalently, ''E''/''F'' is algebraic, and the field fixed by the automorphism group Aut(''E''/''F'') is precisely the base field ''F''. The significance of being a Galois extension is that the extension has a Galois group and obeys the fundamental theorem of Galois theory. A result of Emil Artin allows one to construct Galois extensions as follows: If ''E'' is a given field, and ''G'' is a finite group of automorphisms of ''E'' with fixed field ''F'', then ''E''/''F'' is a Galois extension. Characterization of Galois extensions An important theorem of Emil Artin states that for a finite extension E/F, each of the following statements is equivalent to the statement that E/F is Galois: *E/F is a normal extension and a separable extension. *E is a splitting field of a separable polynomial with coefficients in F. *, \!\operatorname(E/F), = :F that is, the number o ...

Global Field
In mathematics, a global field is one of two type of fields (the other one is local field) which are characterized using valuations. There are two kinds of global fields: * Algebraic number field: A finite extension of \mathbb *Global function field: The function field of an algebraic curve over a finite field, equivalently, a finite extension of \mathbb_q(T), the field of rational functions in one variable over the finite field with q=p^n elements. An axiomatic characterization of these fields via valuation theory was given by Emil Artin and George Whaples in the 1940s. Formal definitions A ''global field'' is one of the following: ;An algebraic number field An algebraic number field ''F'' is a finite (and hence algebraic) field extension of the field of rational numbers Q. Thus ''F'' is a field that contains Q and has finite dimension when considered as a vector space over Q. ;The function field of an algebraic curve over a finite field A function field of a variety is t ...
