A co-publication of the AMS and CBMS
Modular forms appear in many ways in number theory. They play a
central role in the theory of quadratic forms, in particular, as generating
functions for the number of representations of integers by positive definite
quadratic forms. They are also key players in the recent spectacular proof of
Fermat's Last Theorem. Modular forms are at the center of an immense amount of
current research activity. Also detailed in this volume are other roles that
modular forms and \(q\)-series play in number theory, such as
applications and connections to basic hypergeometric functions, Gaussian
hypergeometric functions, super-congruences, Weierstrass points on modular
curves, singular moduli, class numbers, \(L\)-values, and elliptic
curves.
The first three chapters provide some basic facts and results on modular
forms, which set the stage for the advanced areas that are treated in the
remainder of the book. Ono gives ample motivation on topics where modular forms
play a role. Rather than cataloging all of the known results, he highlights
those that give their flavor. At the end of most chapters, he gives open
problems and questions.
The book is an excellent resource for advanced graduate students and
researchers interested in number theory.
