In mathematics, overconvergent modular forms are special p-adic modular forms that are elements of certain p-adic Banach spaces (usually infinite dimensional) containing classical spaces of modular forms as subspaces. They were introduced by Nicholas M. Katz in 1972. References Robert F. Coleman, Classical and overconvergent modular forms. Les Dix-huitièmes Journées Arithmétiques (Bordeaux, 1993). J. Théor.
