Title: Vector-valued modular forms and CM Jacobians

Abstract: In this talk, I will explain how vector-valued modular forms

may be used to compute explicitly periods of modular curves, and how the

application of this technique to noncongruence subgroups of the modular

group should soon yield new examples of Jacobians of modular curves with

complex multiplication (i.e., CM Jacobians).
