Summary on Grant Application Form
In 1987 Serre made several conjectures about odd mod 1 representations of Gal ( ) and mod 1 modular forms. There has been a lot of work on this subject and Serre's conjecture gave rise to a lot of research on Galois representation and congruences between modular forms.The purpose of this proposal is to investigate a possible generalization of Serre's conjecture to imaginary quadratic fields. The co-applicant is working for a Ph.D under the supervision of the principal applicant and is looking for numerical evidence for this question. He is currently working on modifying a computer package John Cremona at Exeter University has created to calculate modular forms. The applicants work so far has clearly indicated the need for a a large amount of computation time on high speed processors; this can only be provided by a dedicated workstation as the Department presently has only 2 workstations for general use and these are shared by all researchers.
