2 Modular forms Let Γ be a Fuchsian group (e.g. Γ = Γ 0 (N) SL 2 (Z)). Definition A modular form for Γ of weight k Z 0 is a holomorphic function f : H C such that f (γz) = (cz + d) k f (z) for all γ Γ and such that the limit lim z f (z) exists for all cusps. Definition Let M k (Γ) be the C-vector space of modular forms for Γ of weight k. David Zureick-Brown and John Voight The canonical ring of a stacky curve Nov 8, / 21

4 Ring of Modular forms Definition (Ring of Modular forms) M(Γ) := M k (Γ) k 2Z 0 Example (LMFDB) M(Γ 0 (11)) = C[E 2, f E, g 4 ]/(g4 2 F (E 2, f E )) Example (Ji, 1998) M(Γ 2,3,7 ) = C[ 12, 16, 30 ]/f ( 12, 16, 30 ) David Zureick-Brown and John Voight The canonical ring of a stacky curve Nov 8, / 21

5 Rustom s conjectures (2012) Conjecture (Rustom) The C-algebra M(Γ 0 (N)) is generated in weight at most 6 with relations in weight at most 12. This was proved by Wagreich in 1980/81. Conjecture (Rustom) The Z [1/6N]-algebra M(Γ 0 (N), Z [1/6N]) is generated in weight at most 6 with relations in weight at most 12. M k (Γ 0 (N), R) consists of forms with q-expansion in R q.

11 Petri s theorem Let C be non-hyperelliptic, non-trigonal, not a plane quintic. Theorem (Enriques-Noether-Baggage-Petri) The canonical ring R C is generated in degree 1 with relations in degree 2. Remark 1 For C trigonal or a plane quintic R C is generated in degree 1 with relations in degrees 2 and 3 2 (unless g(c) = 3, which has a single relation in degree 4) 3 For C hyperelliptic, there are generators in degrees 1,2, relations in degrees up to 4.

20 Main theorem Theorem (Voight,ZB) Let (X, ) be a tame log stacky curve with signature (g; e 1,..., e r ; δ) over a field k, and let e = max(1, e 1,..., e r ). Then the canonical ring R(X, ) = H 0 (X, Ω( ) d ) d=0 is generated as a k-algebra by elements of degree at most 3e with relations of degree at most 6e. Remark Moreover, if 2g 2 + δ 0, then R(X, ) is generated in degree at most max(3, e) with relations in degree at most 2 max(3, e).
