Seminar on Modular Forms

Anton Mosunov, Department of Pure Mathematics, University of Waterloo

"Complex tori and elliptic curves"

In this seminar, we will look at the connection that exists between elliptic curves defined over the field of complex numbers C and complex tori. A complex torus is merely a quotient of C by some two-dimensional lattice on the complex plane. This connection is fundamental for the understanding of the Modularity Theorem.
