Modularity conjecture #
The Modularity conjecture (also know as the Shimura--Taniyama--Weil conjecture) states that
every rational elliptic curve is modular, meaning that it can be
associated with a modular form. We state the a_p
version of the conjecture, which relates the
coefficients of the modular form to the number of points on the elliptic curve over finite fields.
Since we don't have the conductor of the elliptic curve, our definition of a_p(E)
differs from
that in the literature at primes of bad reduction. For this reason, we state the conjecture with the
assumption that p ∤ N
, in order to give an equivalent statement.
