Modular Forms and L-Functions. A Mathematical Journey

Mathématiques

This manuscript presents a structured introduction to modular forms and L-functions, two central themes in modern number theory. Modular forms are highly symmetric holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane, while L-functions encode their arithmetic information through Dirichlet series and Euler products. The exposition develops the foundational definitions, Fourier expansions, Hecke operators, analytic continuation, and the modularity theorem, and then connects these ideas to elliptic curves, cryptography, and mathematical physics. The goal is to provide a mathematically clear, book-style narrative suitable for a chapter-length or short monograph treatment.
