Description

The main goal of the present course is two-folded. First, we develop the theory of Calabi-Yau modular forms introduced in [Mov22b, Mov17a, AMSY16]. Second, we aim to gather the literature on arithmetic modularity beyond elliptic curves, and in particular, rigid Calabi-Yau varieties. For this we will follows [Yui13] and the references therein.

Prerequisite:

Algebraic Geometry, Number theory
