Title: Constructing modular forms as Sudoku for number theorists
Speaker: Nils Skoruppa (Universitat Siegen)
Time: 2016-10-18, 14:00-15:00
Place: 610
Abstract: We describe a very personal view on usual elliptic modular forms. We shall describe modular forms in terms of graphs and in a way which can even be understood by non-mathematicians. We promise that after the talk everybody can compute quickly modular forms by hand. For the experts: The machinery working behind our talk is, of course, Eichler-Shimura cohomology and Manin symbols. But none of this will show up in the talk (except for one or two slides of background illumination for the ambitious).
