I am interested in ring-theoretic properties of rings of modular forms. Consider the ring $R$ of integral modular forms for some level, say $\Gamma_1(n)$ -- and to be gentle, let's invert $n$. Algebro …

Congruences between modular forms are certainly a big topic in number theory, maybe with $$E_{p-1}\equiv 1 \mod p \qquad \text{for a prime }p\geq 5$$ as the easiest example. Sometimes, $p$ might be r …

I will answer Q2: N=2: Denote by $Y^1(2)$ the moduli of elliptic curves with point of order 2 and fixed invariant differential. It is not hard to show that $Y^1(2) = \mathrm{Spec}\, \mathbb{Z}[\frac12 …

In p-adic properties of modular schemes and modular forms Katz formulates the following base change theorem as Theorem 1.7.1 Let $n\geq 3$ and $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_n$ be the compactified moduli …

Katz defines in Section 2.0 $p$-adic properties of modular schemes and modular forms the Hasse invariant as a mod $p$ modular form $A$ of weight $p-1$. In other words, it is a section of $\omega^{\oti …

Given a commutative $\mathbb{Z}[\frac1n]$-algebra $R$, we can consider the ring of modular forms $M_*(\Gamma_1(n), R)$. If $R$ is a subring of $\mathbb{C}$, these can be defined as those (holomorphic) …

Recall that for a subgroup $\Gamma \subset SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ a modular form $f$ of weight $k$ is a holomorphic function from the upper-half plane into the complex numbers such that for any $\begin{p …

Atiyah, Bott and Shapiro defined orientations of real and complex K-theory that were later refined to maps of ($E_\infty$-ring) spectra $$MSpin \to KO$$ and $$MSpin^c \to KU.$$ Likewise, but more co …

For any $n\geq 1$, one can define a functor $\mathcal{M}_1(n)\colon \mathrm{Schemes}/\mathbb{Z}[\frac1n] \to \mathrm{Groupoids}$, sending a scheme to the groupoid of elliptic curves over it with a cho …
