A geometric introduction to transcendence questions on values of modular forms
arXiv:2011.14401
Abstract
We survey some key developments in the theory of transcendental numbers, paying special attention to Nesterenko's theorem on values of Eisenstein series and emphasizing its underlying geometric aspects. We finish with a brief discussion on periods and related open problems.
