Hilbert Modular Group
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_ ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, Mathematical theory, theories and theorems that are developed and Mathematical proof, proved for the needs of empirical sciences and mathematics itself. There are many areas of mathematics, which include number theory (the study of numbers), algebra (the study of formulas and related structures), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that contain them), Mathematical analysis, analysis (the study of continuous changes), and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics). Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of mathematical object, abstract objects that consist of either abstraction (mathematics), abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicspurely abstract entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure reason to proof (mathematics), prove properties of objects, a ''proof'' consisting of a succession of applications of in ...

Habilitationsschrift
Habilitation is the highest university degree, or the procedure by which it is achieved, in Germany, France, Italy, Poland and some other European and non-English-speaking countries. The candidate fulfills a university's set criteria of excellence in research, teaching, and further education, which usually includes a dissertation. The degree, sometimes abbreviated ''Dr. habil''. (), ''dr hab.'' (), or ''D.Sc.'' ('' Doctor of Sciences'' in Russia and some CIS countries), is often a qualification for full professorship in those countries. In German-speaking countries it allows the degree holder to bear the title ''PD'' (for ). In a number of countries there exists an academic post of docent, appointment to which often requires such a qualification. The degree conferral is usually accompanied by a public oral defence event (a lecture or a colloquium) with one or more opponents. Habilitation is usually awarded 5–15 years after a PhD degree or its equivalent. Achieving this ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hilbert Modular Surface
In mathematics, a Hilbert modular surface or Hilbert–Blumenthal surface is an algebraic surface obtained by taking a quotient of a product of two copies of the upper half-plane by a Hilbert modular group. More generally, a Hilbert modular variety is an algebraic variety obtained by taking a quotient of a product of multiple copies of the upper half-plane by a Hilbert modular group. Hilbert modular surfaces were first described by using some unpublished notes written by David Hilbert about 10 years before. Definitions If ''R'' is the ring of integers of a real quadratic field, then the Hilbert modular group SL2(''R'') acts on the product ''H''×''H'' of two copies of the upper half plane ''H''. There are several birationally equivalent surfaces related to this action, any of which may be called Hilbert modular surfaces: *The surface ''X'' is the quotient of ''H''×''H'' by SL2(''R''); it is not compact and usually has quotient singularities coming from point ...

Siegel Modular Form
In mathematics, Siegel modular forms are a major type of automorphic form. These generalize conventional ''elliptic'' modular forms which are closely related to elliptic curves. The complex manifolds constructed in the theory of Siegel modular forms are Siegel modular variety, Siegel modular varieties, which are basic models for what a moduli space for abelian varieties (with some extra level structure (algebraic geometry), level structure) should be and are constructed as quotients of the Siegel upper half-space rather than the upper half-plane by discrete groups. Siegel modular forms are holomorphic functions on the set of symmetric matrix, symmetric ''n'' × ''n'' matrices with positive definite imaginary part; the forms must satisfy an automorphy condition. Siegel modular forms can be thought of as multivariable modular forms, i.e. as special functions of several complex variables. Siegel modular forms were first investigated by for the purpose of studying quadratic for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Complex Manifold
In differential geometry and complex geometry, a complex manifold is a manifold with a ''complex structure'', that is an atlas (topology), atlas of chart (topology), charts to the open unit disc in the complex coordinate space \mathbb^n, such that the transition maps are Holomorphic function, holomorphic. The term "complex manifold" is variously used to mean a complex manifold in the sense above (which can be specified as an ''integrable'' complex manifold) or an almost complex manifold, ''almost'' complex manifold. Implications of complex structure Since holomorphic functions are much more rigid than smooth functions, the theories of smooth manifold, smooth and complex manifolds have very different flavors: compact space, compact complex manifolds are much closer to algebraic variety, algebraic varieties than to differentiable manifolds. For example, the Whitney embedding theorem tells us that every smooth ''n''-dimensional manifold can be Embedding, embedded as a smooth subma ...

Erich Hecke
Erich Hecke (; 20 September 1887 – 13 February 1947) was a German mathematician known for his work in number theory and the theory of modular forms. Biography Hecke was born in Buk, Province of Posen, German Empire (now Poznań, Poland). He obtained his doctorate in Göttingen under the supervision of David Hilbert. Kurt Reidemeister and Heinrich Behnke were among his students. In 1933 Hecke signed the '' Loyalty Oath of German Professors to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist State'', but was later known as being opposed to the Nazis. Hecke died in Copenhagen, Denmark. André Weil, in the foreword to his text '' Basic Number Theory'' says: "To improve upon Hecke, in a treatment along classical lines of the theory of algebraic numbers, would be a futile and impossible task", referring to Hecke's book "Lectures on the Theory of Algebraic Numbers." Research His early work included establishing the functional equation for the Dedekind zeta function, with a proof based ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
David Hilbert
David Hilbert (; ; 23 January 1862 – 14 February 1943) was a German mathematician and philosopher of mathematics and one of the most influential mathematicians of his time. Hilbert discovered and developed a broad range of fundamental ideas including invariant theory, the calculus of variations, commutative algebra, algebraic number theory, the foundations of geometry, spectral theory of operators and its application to integral equations, mathematical physics, and the foundations of mathematics (particularly proof theory). He adopted and defended Georg Cantor's set theory and transfinite numbers. In 1900, he presented a collection of problems that set a course for mathematical research of the 20th century. Hilbert and his students contributed to establishing rigor and developed important tools used in modern mathematical physics. He was a cofounder of proof theory and mathematical logic.

Otto Blumenthal
Ludwig Otto Blumenthal (20 July 1876 – 12 November 1944) was a German mathematician and professor at RWTH Aachen University. Biography He was born in Frankfurt, Hesse-Nassau. A student of David Hilbert, Blumenthal was an editor of ''Mathematische Annalen''. When the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service, Civil Service Act of 1933 became law in 1933, after Enabling Act of 1933, Hitler became Chancellor, Blumenthal was dismissed from his position at RWTH Aachen University. He was married to Amalie Ebstein, also known as 'Mali' and daughter of Wilhelm Ebstein. Blumenthal, who was of Jewish background, emigrated from Nazi Germany to the Netherlands, lived in Utrecht and was deported via Westerbork transit camp, Westerbork to the nazi concentration camps, concentration camp, Concentration camp Theresienstadt, Theresienstadt in Bohemia (now Czech Republic), where he died. In 1913, Blumenthal made a fundamental, though often overlooked, contribution to applied ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Göttingen University
Göttingen (, ; ; ) is a college town, university city in Lower Saxony, central Germany, the Capital (political), capital of Göttingen (district), the eponymous district. The River Leine runs through it. According to the 2022 German census, the population of Göttingen was 124,548. Overview The origins of Göttingen lay in a village called ''Gutingi, ''first mentioned in a document in 953 AD. The city was founded northwest of this village, between 1150 and 1200 AD, and adopted its name. In Middle Ages, medieval times the city was a member of the Hanseatic League and hence a wealthy town. Today, Göttingen is famous for its old university (''Georgia Augusta'', or University of Göttingen, "Georg-August-Universität"), which was founded in 1734 (first classes in 1737) and became the most visited university of Europe. In 1837, seven professors protested against the absolute sovereignty of the House of Hanover, kings of Kingdom of Hanover, Hanover; they lost their positions, but ...

Modular Form
In mathematics, a modular form is a holomorphic function on the complex upper half-plane, \mathcal, that roughly satisfies a functional equation with respect to the group action of the modular group and a growth condition. The theory of modular forms has origins in complex analysis, with important connections with number theory. Modular forms also appear in other areas, such as algebraic topology, sphere packing, and string theory. Modular form theory is a special case of the more general theory of automorphic forms, which are functions defined on Lie groups that transform nicely with respect to the action of certain discrete subgroups, generalizing the example of the modular group \mathrm_2(\mathbb Z) \subset \mathrm_2(\mathbb R). Every modular form is attached to a Galois representation. The term "modular form", as a systematic description, is usually attributed to Erich Hecke. The importance of modular forms across multiple field of mathematics has been humorously re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
