Moduli spaces and Modular forms

Abstract

The relation between moduli spaces and modular forms goes back to the theory of elliptic curves. On the one hand both topics experience their own growth and development, but from time to time new unexpected links show up and usually these lead to progress on both sides. One subject where there has been a lot of progress concerns the moduli of abelian varieties and K3 surfaces and especially on the Kodaira dimension of these spaces. The idea of the workshop was to bring together the experts of the two areas in the hope that discussion, interaction and lectures would spur the development of new ideas. The lectures of the workshop gave ample evidence of the interaction and provided opportunities for further interaction. Besides the lectures participants interacted via zoom in smaller groups.
