Lectures on Shimura Curves: Arithmetic Fuchsian Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The class of Fuchsian groups that we are (by far) most interested in are the arithmetic groups. The easiest way to describe arithmetic Fuchsian groups is that class of groups containing all groups commensurable with PSL2(Z) and also all groups which uniformize compact Shimura curves. This is however, not a very wellmotivated definition: structurally, what do classical modular curves and Shimura curves have in common that elevates them above the rank and file of the common Fuchsian group?

Three Lectures on Shimura Curves
These notes are taken from a lecture series in three parts given at the University of Sydney in April 2006. In the rst part, we introduce Shimura curves for the non-expert, avoiding technicalities. In the other two sections, we discuss the moduli interpretation of Shimura curves and treat some of the computational aspects. Ever wondered what a Shimura curve is? They lie at the crossroads of man...
متن کاملLectures on Shimura Curves 4.5: a Crash Course on Linear Algebraic Groups
It is an initially surprising fact how much of the geometry and arithmetic of Shimura varieties (e.g., moduli spaces of abelian varieties) is governed by the theory of linear algebraic groups. This is in some sense unfortunate, because the theory of algebraic groups (even over the complex numbers, and still more over a nonalgebraically closed field like Q) is rich and complicated, containing fo...
متن کاملLectures on Shimura Curves 2: General Theory of Fuchsian Groups
Let R be any commutative ring. Then by GLN (R) we mean the group of all N × N matrices M with entries in R, and which are invertible: det(M) ∈ R×. The determininant map gives a homomorphism of groups which is easily seen to be surjective: defining the kernel to be SLN (R), we get an extension of groups The center Z of GLN (R) consists of the scalar matrices R× · IN , so as a group isomorphic to...
متن کاملShimura curves of genus at most two
We enumerate all Shimura curves XD 0 (N) of genus at most two: there are exactly 858 such curves, up to equivalence. The elliptic modular curve X0(N) is the quotient of the completed upper halfplane H∗ by the congruence subgroup Γ0(N) of matrices in SL2(Z) that are upper triangular modulo N ∈ Z>0. The curve X0(N) forms a coarse moduli space for (generalized) elliptic curves equipped with a cycl...
متن کاملShimura Curves Lecture 10: Quaternionic Moduli
Let B/Q be an indefinite quaternion algebra of discriminant D (we allow the case of D = 1, i.e., B ∼= M2(Q)) and ON a level N Eichler order in B. By taking Γ(ON ) = Γ(B,ON ) to be the elements of O× of positive reduced norm, we get an arithmetic Fuchsian group and hence a Riemann surface ON\H. So as not to prejudice matters, let us temporarily denote the Shimura curve associated to any quaterni...
