The unbounded denominators conjecture

SEMINARS, NUMBER THEORY

March 30, 2022      3:00 pm
Speaker: Yunqing Tang - Princeton University

The unbounded denominators conjecture, first raised by Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer, asserts that a modular form for a finite index subgroup of SL_2(Z) whose Fourier coefficients have bounded denominators must be...
