In mathematics, a Hilbert modular surface or Hilbert–Blumenthal surface is one of the surfaces obtained by taking a quotient of a product of two copies of the upper half-plane by a Hilbert modular group.
Hilbert modular surfaces were first described by Otto Blumenthal (1903, 1904) using some unpublished notes written by Hilbert about 10 years before.
