Modular forms and elliptic curves over Q(zeta_5)
Monday March 16th, 2009 at 4 pm in MacMillan 115

There have been many computational investigations into modularity of elliptic curves over number fields other than Q, especially for imaginary quadratic fields (Cremona and his students, Dieulefait--Guerberoff--Pacetti) and real quadratic fields (Dembele). In this talk we present joint work in progress with F. Hajir, D. Ramakrishnan, and D. Yasaki that treats the totally complex quartic field of fifth roots of unity. We will discuss our computational techniques and will give examples of elliptic curves over this field whose L-series apparently match those given by the Hecke data of eigenforms.
