Modular Decent and the Saito-Kurokawa Conjecture.
We prove a rigidity theorem for semiarithmetic Fuchsian groups: If Γ₁, Γ₂ are two semiarithmetic lattices in PSL(2,ℝ ) virtually admitting modular embeddings, and f: Γ₁ → Γ₂ is a group isomorphism that respects the notion of congruence subgroups, then f is induced by an inner automorphism of PGL(2,ℝ ).
Modular invariance property of association schemes is recalled in connection with our joint work with François Jaeger. Then we survey codes over discussing how codes, through their (various kinds of) weight enumerators, are related to (various kinds of) modular forms through polynomial invariants of certain finite group actions and theta series. Recently, not only codes over an arbitrary finite field but also codes over finite rings and finite abelian groups are considered and have been studied...
