Dec 10, 2018 at 15:49 comment added François Brunault @ramanujan_dirac I don't know of linear operators other than those given by double cosets. The only other thing I can think of would be, since you are working in weight 0, to take products (or quotients) of the functions $f(d\tau)$. There is also an obvious multiplicative version of the trace map (more accurately called a norm map). But these are not linear operators.
Dec 10, 2018 at 13:42 comment added user35360 @FrançoisBrunault: Thanks again for the helpful comment. If I could trouble you with a related question, are there any operators that raise level apart from the scaling map I mentioned? I am studying operators that map modular forms of various levels but none of the ones I have found in literature satisfy my needs.

Dec 9, 2018 at 21:34 comment added François Brunault @ramanujan_dirac I see, then the trace maps are well-defined on meromorphic forms, and they preserve weakly holomorphic modular forms (as general double cosets do).

Dec 9, 2018 at 21:27 comment added user35360 @FrançoisBrunault: My apologies. I mean weakly holomorphic (finite order poles at the cusps) or even meromorphic modular functions. I am not imposing holomorphicity. Thanks for your comment. I will check it out.
Dec 9, 2018 at 21:18 comment added François Brunault Which modular functions do you mean exactly? The notation $M_0$ is not standard (modular forms of weight 0 are constant). Also $f(\tau/d)$ is not modular of level $M$. That being said, your are looking for trace maps, see e.g. Diamond-Shurman, A first course in modular forms, p. 166. It is an exercise to show these maps are the adjoints of the scaling maps wrt the Petersson scalar product.
Dec 9, 2018 at 21:16 comment added Sylvain JULIEN Maybe composing an automorphism of your space as I suggested with the inverse map you consider would generate all desired maps.
Dec 9, 2018 at 21:09 comment added user35360 @SylvainJULIEN: I did indeed mean a map from $M_0(\Gamma(N))$ to $M_0(\Gamma(M))$. I had made a typo which I have now corrected.
Dec 9, 2018 at 21:00 comment added Sylvain JULIEN From a total non expert and provided I understood correctly : wouldn't a suitable definition of the automorphism group of your space of modular functions provide an affirmative answer to your question ? Unless you meant a map from $M_{0}(\Gamma(N)) $ to $M_{0}(\Gamma(M)) $?
