Tunnel like theorem: is there an interesting function with fourier coefficients related to $...

Tunnel's result on the congruent number problem hinges on the fact that there are modular forms with fourier coefficients related to the values $L(E_n,1)$. Is there an interesting function that has c …

When does a modular form satisfy a differential equation with rational coefficients?

Given a modular form $f$ of weight $k$ for a congruence subgroup $\Gamma$, and a modular function $t$ with $t(i\infty)=0$, we can form a function $F$ such that $F(t(z))=f(z)$ (at least locally), and w …

Geometric meaning of fiber of modular parameterization over a point of an elliptic curve?

Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $N$, parameterization $\psi : X_0(N) \rightarrow E$, and a point $P \in E$, take the fiber $\psi^{-1}(P)$. Its points, being on $X_0(N)$, correspond …
