Compute weight of modular form from its Fourier coefficients

It is known that Hecke eigenform $f \in S_{k}(\Gamma_0(N), \chi)$ is uniquely determined by first $C_{k,N}$ many Fourier coefficients, where $C_{k,N}$ is a constant only depends on $k$ and $N$. For ...

Simultaneous computation of the three Weber modular functions

Recall that the three classical Weber modular functions are defined by $f(\tau)=e^{-\pi i/24}\eta((\tau+1)/2)/\eta(\tau)$, $f_1(\tau)=\eta(\tau/2)/\eta(\tau)$, and $f_2(\tau)=\sqrt{2}\eta(2\tau)/\eta(\...

Road map for learning about the computational/general theory of modular curves/isogenies of abelian varieties for cryptography

I am a graduate math/crypto student. So I've had some free time last year and I heard about elliptic curves in cryptography and how a resilient cryptosystem got demolished by a spectacular attack ...

What are the modularity conjectures for Artin motives?

Classically, singular cohomology is an important tool for studying topological spaces, in particular, complex varieties. In the mid-twentieth century it was realized that there are many analogues of ...

Reconstructing coefficients of an elliptic curve L-series from the modular form divisor

Let $E$ be an unknown elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$. Let $L(E, s) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{a_n}{n^s}$ be the L-function of $E$ and write $f(q) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n q^n$. I'm in a setting ...

An application of Koike's Trace Formula

Koike's Trace Formula states that \begin{equation} \mbox{Tr}((U_p^{\kappa})^n) = - \sum_{0 \leq u < \sqrt{p^n}\\ (u,p)=1}H(u^2-4p^n)\frac{\gamma(u)^\kappa}{\gamma(u)^2 - p^n}-1, \end{equation} ...

Coefficient field of a newform using Magma

It is well-known that, for a newform $f = \sum c_nq^n \in \Gamma_0(N)$, the coefficient field $K_f := \mathbb{Q}(a_1, a_2, a_3, \cdots )$ is a number field. I am introducing myself in Magma, and I was ...

Computing all eta quotients of given weight and level

I have written a rather naive program for finding all holomorphic eta quotients of given weight and level (and varying character). When the level has few divisors it is very fast, but incredibly slow ...

Effective detection of CM modular forms

Say $f$ is a newform of weight $k$ and level $\Gamma_1(N)$. $f$ is called CM if, for example, there is an imaginary quadratic field $K$ such that for all $p\nmid N$ which are inert in $K$, the $p$th ...
