摘要
In this survey article we explain the role modular curves played in the theory of error-correcting codes. The emphasis is on Elkies' modularity conjecture which predicts that all asymptotically optimal recursively defined towers of curves over finite fields with square cardinality arise from reductions of modular curves. The known examples support this conjecture. We discuss in detail key properties of the modular towers concerning this conjecture.
