Gabor Wiese: Katz modular forms

Abstract:

The principal aim of this talk is to give the definition of Katz modular forms and to motivate and explain the ideas behind it.

We start with the classical theory and try to make the algebraisation appear naturally. Due to time limitations, but the most elementary properties of the Katz forms will be presented.

The exposition is based on lecture notes and explanations by Bas Edixhoven.

Slightly revised notes in dvi, ps or pdf format.
