These course notes are about computing modular forms and some of their arithmetic properties. Their aim is to explain and prove the modular symbols algorithm in as elementary and as explicit terms as possible, and to enable the devoted student to implement it over any ring (such that a sufficient linear algebra theory is available in the chosen computer algebra system). The chosen approach is based on group cohomology and along the way the needed tools from homological algebr...

An elementary introduction to Hilbert modular forms, with a particular attention to their differential properties: Rankin-Cohen brakets, structure of differential rings... This text will appear in SMF Seminaires et Congres.

We show that Siegel modular forms of level \Gamma_0(p^m) are p-adic modular forms. Moreover we show that derivatives of such Siegel modular forms are p-adic. Parts of our results are also valid for vector-valued modular forms. In our approach to p-adic Siegel modular forms we follow Serre closely; his proofs however do not generalize to the Siegel case or need some modifications.

We extend previous work of the author using an idea of Buzzard and give an elementary construction of non-ordinary $p$-adic families of Hilbert Modular Eigenforms.

We study modular Galois representations mod $p^m$. We show that there are three progressively weaker notions of modularity for a Galois representation mod $p^m$: we have named these `strongly', `weakly', and `dc-weakly' modular. Here, `dc' stands for `divided congruence' in the sense of Katz and Hida. These notions of modularity are relative to a fixed level $M$. Using results of Hida we display a `stripping-of-powers of $p$ away from the level' type of result: A mod $p^m$ ...

This is a review article on mirror symmetry and aspects of it related to the theory of modular forms. We describe this topic along its historical development and connect to some more recent results toward the end. The article is for publication in a special issue of ICCM Notices.

For a crystalline p-adic representation of the absolute Galois group of Qp, we define a family of Coleman maps (linear maps from the Iwasawa cohomology of the representation to the Iwasawa algebra), using the theory of Wach modules. Let f = sum(a_n q^n) be a normalized new modular eigenform and p an odd prime at which f is either good ordinary or supersingular. By applying our theory to the p-adic representation associated to f, we define two Coleman maps with values in the I...

Wiles' work on Fermat's last Theorem highlighted the power of $p$-adic methods to prove the existence of analytic continuations of $\zeta$ and $L$ functions. These methods have become considerably more sophisticated in recent years, and have produced a wealth of beautiful results: Hasse--Weil conjecture for genus $2$ curves, holomorphy of $L$-functions of symmetric powers of modular forms, etc. We present some of these advances.

This article is the first of a pair of articles dealing with the Iwasawa theory of modular forms of weight 1 and, more generally, of Artin representations satisfying certain conditions. The main results in this part analyze the structure of certain Selmer groups for the Artin representation. In particular, it is shown that the Selmer groups are co-torsion as $\Lambda$-modules. For each Selmer group, we consider a generator of the characteristic ideal of its Pontrjagin dual. W...
