Description for Computational Aspects of Modular Forms and Galois Representations: How One Can Compute in Polynomial Time the Value of Ramanujan´s Tau at a Prime (AM-176)
Paperback. Modular forms are tremendously important in various areas of mathematics, from number theory and algebraic geometry to combinatorics and lattices. This title gives an algorithm for computing coefficients of modular forms of level one in polynomial time. Editor(s): Edixhoven, Bas; Couveignes, Jean-Marc. Series: Annals of Mathematics Studies. Num Pages: 440 pages, 6 line illus. BIC Classification: PBH; PBMW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 234 x 157 x 22. Weight in Grams: 622.
Modular forms are tremendously important in various areas of mathematics, from number theory and algebraic geometry to combinatorics and lattices. Their Fourier coefficients, with Ramanujan's tau-function as a typical example, have deep arithmetic significance. Prior to this book, the fastest known algorithms for computing these Fourier coefficients took exponential time, except in some special cases. The case of elliptic curves (Schoof's algorithm) was at the birth of elliptic curve cryptography around 1985. This book gives an algorithm for computing coefficients of modular forms of level one in polynomial time. For example, Ramanujan's tau of a prime number p can be ... Read more

Reviews for Computational Aspects of Modular Forms and Galois Representations: How One Can Compute in Polynomial Time the Value of Ramanujan´s Tau at a Prime (AM-176)
"The book is well written and provides sufficient detail and reminders about the big picture. It gives a nice exposition of the material involved and should be accessible to graduate students or researchers with a sufficient background in number theory and algebraic geometry."
