Modular invariant of a group — In mathematics, a modular invariant of a group is an invariant of a finite group acting on a vector space of positive characteristic (usually dividing the order of the group). The study of modular invariants was originated in about 1914 by… … Wikipedia
Invariant theory — is a branch of abstract algebra that studies actions of groups on algebraic varieties from the point of view of their effect on functions. Classically, the theory dealt with the question of explicit description of polynomial functions that do not … Wikipedia
Modular representation theory — is a branch of mathematics, and that part of representation theory that studies linear representations of finite group G over a field K of positive characteristic. As well as having applications to group theory, modular representations arise… … Wikipedia
Modular group — For a group whose lattice of subgroups is modular see Iwasawa group. In mathematics, the modular group Γ is a fundamental object of study in number theory, geometry, algebra, and many other areas of advanced mathematics. The modular group can be… … Wikipedia
Modular form — In mathematics, a modular form is a (complex) analytic function on the upper half plane satisfying a certain kind of functional equation and growth condition. The theory of modular forms therefore belongs to complex analysis but the main… … Wikipedia
Modular lambda function — In mathematics, the elliptic modular lambda function λ(τ) is a highly symmetric holomorphic function on the complex upper half plane. It is invariant under the fractional linear action of the congruence group Γ(2), and generates the function… … Wikipedia
J-invariant — nome q on the unit diskIn mathematics, Klein s j invariant, regarded as a function of a complex variable tau;, is a modular function defined on the upper half plane of complex numbers. We can express it in terms of Jacobi s theta functions, in… … Wikipedia
Dickson invariant — In mathematics, the Dickson invariant, named after Leonard Eugene Dickson, may mean: The Dickson invariant of an element of the orthogonal group in characteristic 2 A modular invariant of a group studied by Dickson This disambiguation page lists… … Wikipedia
Classical modular curve — In number theory, the classical modular curve is an irreducible plane algebraic curve given by an equation Φn(x, y)=0, where for the j invariant j(τ), x=j(n τ), y=j(τ) is a point on the curve. The curve is sometimes called X0(n), though often… … Wikipedia
Mock modular form — In mathematics, a mock modular form is the holomorphic part of a harmonic weak Maass form, and a mock theta function is essentially a mock modular form of weight 1/2. The first examples of mock theta functions were described by Srinivasa… … Wikipedia
