A complete algebraic curve $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ uniformized by a subgroup $ \widetilde \Gamma $ of finite index in the modular group $ \Gamma $; more precisely, a modular curve is a complete algebraic curve obtained from a quotient space $ H / \widetilde \Gamma $, where $ H $ is the upper half-plane, together with a finite number of parabolic points (the equivalence classes relative to $ \widetilde \Gamma $ of the rational points of the boundary of $ H $). The best known examples of subgroups $ \widetilde \Gamma $ of finite index in $ \Gamma $ are the congruence subgroups containing a principal congruence subgroup $ \Gamma (N) $ of level $ N $ for some integer $ N > 1 $, represented by the matrices

$$ A \in {\mathop{\rm SL}\nolimits} _ {2} ( \mathbf Z ) ,\ A \equiv \left ( \begin{array}{cc} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \\ \end{array} \right ) \mathop{\rm mod} N $$

(see Modular group). The least such $ N $ is called the level of the subgroup $ \widetilde \Gamma $. In particular, the subgroup $ \Gamma _ {0} (N) $ represented by matrices which are congruent $ {\mathop{\rm mod}\nolimits} N $ to upper-triangular matrices has level $ N $. Corresponding to each subgroup $ \widetilde \Gamma $ of finite index there is a covering of the modular curve $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } \mathop \rightarrow \limits X _ \Gamma $, which ramifies only over the images of the points $ z = i $, $ z = ( 1 + i \sqrt 3 ) / 2 $, $ z = \inf $. For a congruence subgroup $ \widetilde \Gamma $ the ramification of this covering allows one to determine the genus of $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ and to prove the existence of subgroups $ \widetilde \Gamma $ of finite index in $ \Gamma $ which are not congruence subgroups (see [4], Vol. 2, [2]). The genus of $ X _ {\Gamma (N)} $ is $ 0 $ for $ N \leq 2 $ and equals

$$ 1 + \frac{N ^ {2} ( N - 6 )}{24} \prod _ {p \mid N} ( 1 - p ^ {-2} ) , $$

$ p $ a prime number, for $ N > 2 $. A modular curve is always defined over an algebraic number field (usually over $ \mathbf Q $ or a cyclic extension of it). The rational functions on a modular curve lift to modular functions (of a higher level) and form a field; the automorphisms of this field have been studied (see [2]). A holomorphic differential form on a modular curve $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ is given on $ H $ by a differential $ f (z) d z $ (where $ f (z) $ is a holomorphic function) which is invariant under the transformations $ z \mathop \rightarrow \limits \gamma (z) $ of $ \widetilde \Gamma $; here $ f (z) $ is a cusp form of weight 2 relative to $ \widetilde \Gamma $. The zeta-function of a modular curve is a product of the Mellin transforms (cf. Mellin transform) of modular forms and, consequently, has a meromorphic continuation and satisfies a functional equation. This fact serves as the point of departure for the Langlands–Weil theory on the relationship between modular forms and Dirichlet series (see [7], [8]). In particular, there is a hypothesis that each elliptic curve over $ \mathbf Q $ (with conductor $ N $) can be uniformized by modular functions of level $ N $. The homology of a modular curve is connected with modular symbols, which allows one to investigate the arithmetic of the values of the zeta-function of a modular curve in the centre of the critical strip and to construct the $ p $- adic zeta-function of a modular curve (see [1]).

A modular curve parametrizes a family of elliptic curves, being their moduli variety (see [7], Vol. 2). In particular, for $ \widetilde \Gamma = \Gamma (N) $ a point $ z $ of $ H / \Gamma (N) $ is in one-to-one correspondence with a pair consisting of an elliptic curve $ E _ {z} $ (analytically equivalent to a complex torus $ \mathbf C / ( \mathbf Z + \mathbf Z z) $) and a point of order $ N $ on $ E _ {z} $ (the image of $ z / N $).

Over each modular curve $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ there is a natural algebraic fibre bundle $ E _ {\widetilde \Gamma } \mathop \rightarrow \limits X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ of elliptic curves if $ \widetilde \Gamma $ does not contain $ - 1 $, compactified by degenerate curves above the parabolic points of $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $. Powers $ E _ { {\widetilde \Gamma }} ^ {(w)} $, where $ w \geq 1 $ is an integer, are called Kuga varieties (see [3], [5]). The zeta- functions of $ E _ { {\widetilde \Gamma }} ^ {(w)} $ are related to the Mellin transforms of modular forms, and their homology to the periods of modular forms (see [3], [7]).

The rational points on a modular curve correspond to elliptic curves having rational points of finite order (or rational subgroups of points); their description (see [6]) made it possible to solve the problem of determining the possible torsion subgroups of elliptic curves over $ \mathbf Q $.

The investigation of the geometry and arithmetic of modular curves is based on the use of groups of automorphisms of the projective limit of the curves $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ with respect to decreasing $ \widetilde \Gamma $, which (in essence) coincides with the group $ {\mathop{\rm SL}\nolimits} _ {2} (A) $ over the ring $ A $ of rational adèles. On each modular curve $ X _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ this gives a non-trivial ring of correspondences $ R _ {\widetilde \Gamma } $ (a Hecke ring), which has applications in the theory of modular forms (cf. Modular form, [3]).
