The Moduli Space of 8 Points on P and Automorphic Forms
نویسنده
چکیده
First we give a complex ball uniformization of the moduli space of 8 ordered points on the projective line by using the theory of periods of K3 surfaces. Next we give a projective model of this moduli space by using automorphic forms on a bounded symmetric domain of type IV which coincides with the one given by cross ratios of 8 ordered points of the projective line. Dedicated to Igor Dolgachev on his 60th birthday

Every elliptic curve is isomorphic to the double covering of the projective line P branching at four points. The set of the isomorphism classes of elliptic curves with marking of branching points can be identified with the configuration space M4pts of ordered four points on P. By considering their periods, one obtains a morphism per from M4pts to the set Mct of the isomorphism classes of comple...
متن کاملModuli of Plane Quartics, Göpel Invariants and Borcherds Products
ABSTRACT. It is known that the moduli space of plane quartic curves is birational to an arithmetic quotient of a 6-dimensional complex ball ([Kon1]). In this paper, we shall show that there exists a 15-dimensional space of meromorphic automorphic forms on the complex ball which gives a birational embedding of the moduli space of plane quartics with level 2 structure into P. This map coincides w...
متن کاملNotes for a course given at the Second EU/US Summer School on Automorphic Forms on SINGULAR MODULI AND MODULAR FORMS
Singular moduli are the values of the modular j-function at the points in the upper halfplane that satisfy a quadratic equation. These values have been studied by number theorists since the 19 century. They are algebraic and generate class fields of imaginary quadratic fields. Both their norms and traces are integers. The work of Gross and Zagier in the 1980s gave explicit factorizations of the...
متن کاملModuli of polarized Hodge structures
Around 1970 Griffiths introduced the moduli of polarized Hodge structures/the period domain D and described a dream to enlarge D to a moduli space of degenerating polarized Hodge structures. Since in general D is not a Hermitian symmetric domain, he asked for the existence of a certain automorphic cohomology theory for D, generalizing the usual notion of automorphic forms on symmetric Hermitian...
متن کاملOn the Theory of Automorphic Functions and the Problem of Moduli
The subject of this presentation is the problem of moduli for certain special types of algebraic-geometrical objects and the connection of this problem with the theory of automorphic functions for certain arithmetically defined discontinuous groups acting on bounded domains in complex Euclidean space. To begin with, the earliest such situation of non trivial content was the theory of elliptic m...
