  • Fundamental domains for Shimura curves
  • 3pm–4pm, Thursday 29th November, 2001
  • Carlaw 535
  • Let H be the upper half complex plane. The classical modular curves X0(N) are defined as quotients of H by finite index subgroups of PSL2(Z). The class X0D(N) of Shimura curves are defined analogously, generalising X0(N), in terms of the actions on H of twisted matrix groups coming from subgroups of units in indefinite quaternion rings. I will define the relevant class of groups and their actions on the upper half plane, and describe the computational problem of determining a fundamental domain, illustrated with examples.
