Discrete subgroups of $\text{Sp}_{4}(\mathbb{Q})$ parameterizing polarized Abelian surfaces plus torsion data

I want to start by considering a familiar congruence subgroup of the integral symplectic group $\text{Sp}_{4}(\mathbb{Z})$. For a positive integer $N$, let $\Gamma _{0}^{(2)}(N) \subset \text{Sp} _{4}(...

Definition of modular curve associated to $\Gamma(N)$

For a positive integer $N$, we define $$\Gamma(N)=\big \{ \begin{bmatrix} a & b \newline c & d\end{bmatrix}\in \operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z}): \begin{bmatrix} a & b \newline c & d\end{...

Eichler Shimura in higher genera

Let $\mathcal{M}$ denote the moduli stack of smooth elliptic curves over $\mathbb{C}$. There is a local system, $\mathcal{H}$, on $\mathcal{M}$ with fibre $H^{1}(E,\mathbb{C})$ at the $\mathbb{C}$-...

Special fibre of the modular curve $X(N)$

Let $N$ be an integer $\geq 3$ and $X(N)\rightarrow \mathrm{Spec } \mathbb{Z}[1/N]$ is the projective smooth modular curve defined in Deligne-Rappoport. Is there an exemple of $N$ for which the ...

Is there an elliptic surface over $Y(1)$?

Actually I have a few related questions. Here, by $Y(1)$ I mean the affine $j$-line $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathcal{H}$. I know $Y(1)$ is only a coarse moduli space, so there isn't a ...

Complex plane mod lattice to elliptic curve correspondence generalization

If we observe the correspondence $$\mathbb{C}/\Lambda \rightarrow E: Y^{2} = X^{3} - \frac{g_{2}(\Lambda)}{4}X - \frac{g_{3}(\Lambda)}{4},$$ we see the relationship between weight 4 and weight 6 ...

Why is the supersingular locus the zero locus of a modular form?

This question is related to my other question here: Examples of subspaces singled out by modular forms. Here I am wondering if there is a philosophical explanation about why the supersingular locus ...

Examples of subspaces singled out by modular forms

I am wondering what subspaces of modular varieties defined as the zero locus of modular forms have been studied in the literature. To be more clear let me explain the example I have in mind. Let $N\...

On Universal Abelian surfaces over a Shimura curve.

Let ${\cal O}, {\cal O}'$ be two order in ${\mathrm M}_2({\Bbb R})$ that are sets of all $2 \times 2$ matrices over real number ${\Bbb R}$. Assume that we have the relation ${\cal O}' = a{\cal O}a^{-1}...

reference request for the finiteness of cuspidal subgroup of $X_0(N)$?

I've seen stated offhand in many sources that the cuspidal subgroup of the Jacobian of $X_0(N)$ is finite. Do they mean that the subgroup of the jacobian generated by $\mathbb{Q}$-rational cusps is ...

Possible slope for a modular form

Let $f\colon \mathbb{H}_g \to \mathbb{C}$ be a Siegel modular form of weight $k$ with respect to $\Gamma_g$. Then, $f$ admits a Fourier expansion $f(Z) = \sum_T a(T) \exp(i\pi \mathop{tr} TZ)$, where $...

Modular curve parametrizing two cyclic subgroups of an elliptic curve

The aim of this question is to better understand the following moduli space/modular curve, for which I propose (temporarily) the name $Y_0(M,N)$. We define $Y_0(M,N)$ as the moduli space parametrizing ...
