Automorphic Form

In mathematics, the general notion of automorphic form is the extension to analytic functions, perhaps of several complex variables, of the theory of modular forms. It is in terms of a Lie group G, to generalise the groups SL(2, R) or PSL(2, R) of modular forms, and a discrete group, to generalise the modular group, or one of its congruence subgroups.

Famous quotes containing the word form:

    “An uprising would punish only the country, and that is out of the question. But there is yet another approach, the most effective form of resistance: contemptuous compliance.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
