Lecture: GAB 461, MW 11:00-12:20pm
Instructor: Professor
Olav Richter
Course Description: Math 6110 is intended for
all graduate students in
mathematics. We will cover selected
topics
in automorphic forms. A solid background in complex analysis is
required and some basic
knowledge in
group theory will be helpful. Topics include: The modular group and its
subgroups, elliptic functions, modular forms (including the discussion
of various
examples), Hecke-Petersson
theory, and theta series.
Textbook: You
do not
have to
