Introductory remarks on complex multiplication

Harvey Cohn

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1982, vol. 5, 1-16

Abstract:

Complex multiplication in its simplest form is a geometric tiling property. In its advanced form it is a unifying motivation of classical mathematics from elliptic integrals to number theory; and it is still of active interest. This interrelation is explored in an introductory expository fashion with emphasis on a central historical problem, the modular equation between j ( z ) and j ( 2 z ) .
