Abstract |
|
The uniformization theorem of Poincaré and Koebe tells us that every smooth connected algebraic curve X over the complex numbers (or any Riemann surface) has as its universal covering space either the complex projective line PC1, the complex numbers C, or the complex upper half plane H = {z ∈ C s.t. Imz > 0}. When the universal covering space is the upper half plane H, we can regard the fundamental group π1(X) as a subgroup of SL2(R) acting as covering transformations via linear fractional transformation. We shall focus on the case π1(X) ⊂ SL2(Z). |
