On Wednesday, 4/30/25, Dr. Timothy Spellman will be here at UConn for our seminar series from UConn Health. His talk title will be announced shortly.

Emir Eray Karabiyik (Cornell University) will speak aboutA Classification of Low Genus Modular CurvesAbstract: Let \(G\) be an open subgroup of \(\operatorname{GL}_2(\widehat{\mathbb{Z}})\). There is a modular curve \(X_G\) which loosely parametrizes elliptic curves whose image of the Galois representation lies in \(G\). In this talk, we give a classification of modular curves of low genus; this is achieved by studying twists of modular curves. We also describe an algorithm for computing all families of modular curves of a fixed genus and for computing explicit models for them.
