I'm not sure it will ever be more efficient to compute critical values by a correspondence to a Hilbert/Bianchi form. (In the case over Q, this only occurs when there is an easy eta-product for the modular form, or possibly when there is CM (both are easy to compute in that case)). OTOH, some theoretical constructs (ie period relations) might be easier for the form rather than the curve. | |

I want the dirichelt series of the L function and its functional equation to compute numerically the critial values of the L functions. By the comment of Will above, it seems to corresponds to Hilbert modular forms or Bianchi modulars depending whether the quadratic field is real or complex? | |
| Jul 26, 2020 at 23:14 | comment | added | Kimball | Can you be a little more precise about what you mean? How to find the first $n$ coefficients of the Dirichlet series from the $a_p$'s, and the analytic conductor and the root number? In what sense do you have the elliptic curve and what sense do you want the L-function? | |
