Feb 8, 2011 at 19:53 comment added William Stein @Kevin: I asked Cohen about the lack of proofs in their paper, and he told me that both he and Oesterle had come up with the same formulas independently by different methods, so published a paper together with no proofs. Cohen suggested that anybody who could follow his proof could probably come up with it just as easily. I complained to Jordi Quer about this and he wrote journals.impan.gov.pl/aa/Inf/145-4-4.html, which does only integral weight.

Apr 8, 2010 at 7:13 comment added Kevin Buzzard @wood: I did mean the latter paper. My memory was that they used Riemann-Roch to compute both the dimension of the spaces of modular forms and of cusp forms (the point being that that they work in both integer and half-integer weight); perhaps I was over-optimistic in hoping that they gave an explanation of the difference!
Apr 7, 2010 at 23:17 comment added wood @Kevin: I suppose you mean "Dimensions des espaces de formes modulaires". There are no explicit formulae for Eisenstein series nor are there any proofs. Or is there another paper by both authors which I am not aware of.

Apr 7, 2010 at 18:23 comment added Kevin Buzzard Did you look at Cohen-Oesterle? I think it has explicit formulae for the Eisenstein series, or at least their dimension, but I'm not at work to check.
