Reference request: étale local system on $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal H$ for $\Gamma$ non-congruence
Suppose $\mathcal H$ is the upper half plane, and $\Gamma\subset \operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ is a finite index subgroup. Then by Belyi's theorem we know that $\Gamma\backslash\mathcal H$ is an ...

Determine whether $\frac{K\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)^2}{K(x)^2}$ is positive rational (given $x$)
Denote the complete elliptic integral of the first kind by
$$K(x)=\int_0^{\pi /2}\frac{d\varphi}{\sqrt{1-x^2\sin^2\varphi}}$$
and
$$f(x)=\frac{K\left(\sqrt{1-x^2}\right)^2}{K(x)^2}$$
Question:
Given a ...

Necessary and sufficient condition for a prime to be represented by an arbitrary positive definite binary quadratic form $ax^2+bxy+cy^2$
Given an arbitrary (but fixed) positive definite primitive integral binary quadratic form $g(x, y)=ax^2+bxy+cy^2$, and let $m$ be an arbitrary integer. We will denote the discriminant of $g$ by $D=D_g=...

The field generated by the torsion points of an elliptic curve
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve with complex multiplication by an order $\mathcal O$ in an imaginary quadratic field $K$. Let $H=K(j(E))$ and $$L_N=K(j(E),E[N])=H(E[N]).$$
It is not hard to prove that
$...

What are the possible bad reductions for an abelian variety of dimension $g$ and a maximal endomorphism ring?
Perhaps the most basic fact about abelian varieties with CM is they have an everywhere potential good reduction (Serre-Tate). On the face of it it might appear that there isn't much more to be added ...

Does Ribet's construction of class fields give us eigenspaces of rank 1?
Ribet's paper on the Herbrand-Ribet theorem constructs a representation $\rho: Gal(\overline{\Bbb Q}/\Bbb Q) \to GL_2(\mathbb F_q)$ where $q = p^r$ of the specific form:
$
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & *\\

What is the "reason" for modularity results?
The question is a little wishy-washy, but I take my cues from other popular questions that relate to the philosophy behind the mathematics as Why do Groups and Abelian Groups feel so different? .
I ...

$A_5$-extension of number fields unramified everywhere
So I was having tea with a colleague immensely more talented than myself and we were discussing his teaching algebraic number theory. He told me that he had given a few examples of abelian and ...

Why are powers of $\exp(\pi\sqrt{163})$ almost integers?
I've been prodded to ask a question expanding this one on Ramanujan's constant $R=\exp(\pi\sqrt{163})$.
Recall that $R$ is very close to an integer; specifically $R=262537412640768744 - \epsilon$ ...
