In the context of modular curves, cusps are special points that appear on these curves and represent equivalence classes of certain types of fractional linear transformations. They can be thought of as 'points at infinity' in the projective sense, capturing the behavior of modular forms as they approach these limits. Understanding cusps is crucial for studying the geometry of modular curves and their connections to elliptic curves and number theory.
congrats on reading the definition of Cusps. now let's actually learn it.
