How to explicitly compute lifting of points from an elliptic curve to a modular curve?
Say $E$ is an elliptic curve over the rationals, of conductor $N$. There's a covering of $E$ by the modular curve $X_0(N)$, and if you rig it right then you can define this map over $\mathbf{Q}$: ...

Finding zeroes of classical modular forms
There are several papers which compute zeroes of modular forms for genus 0 congruence subgroups, such as "Zeros of some level 2 Eisenstein series" by Garthwaite et al published in Proc AMS and work of ...

Computing millions of coefficients of non self-dual modular forms
To test some conjectures made by some colleagues, I need to compute millions of coefficients of non self-dual modular forms, preferably in low weight (say 2 or 3). A form such as this.
For elliptic ...

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 ...

Numerically double-checking formula with L-values
I'm working with a special case of Ichino's triple product formula, which for classical holomorphic newforms $f$, $g$ ,$h$ of weights $k$, $m-k$, $m$ (and central characters satisfying $\chi_f \chi_g =...

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 ...

Density stability; questions for those who like computer calculation
BACKGROUND: The question, which has its roots in a question asked on MO by O'Bryant, concerns the relative density of certain subsets, $B$, of ${\mathbb N}$ in congruence classes modulo a power of 2. ...

Isogenous elliptic curves and canonical modular polynomials
Let $\ell$ and $p$ be two primes. We are looking for a method for checking whether two supersingular elliptic curves over the finite field $F_p$, given through their $j$-invariants, are $\ell$-...

Is there some computational evidence of the $pq$ analog of Serre's conjecture?
The $pq$ analog of Serre's conjecture (see "Mod pq Galois representations and Serre's Conjecture"- Khare, Kiming) states that if $\bar{\rho}_1:G_{\mathbb{Q}}\rightarrow \text{GL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p)$ is a ...

Example of level one cuspidal Hecke Algebra T_k^0 such that p divides its index in its normalization, and p≥k-1?
The question is strongly focused on computations concerning modular forms and Hecke algebras. It is already in the title, but I will repeat it, adding a few details.
Let $S_k$ be the complex vector ...

Computing coefficients for the slash operator of a modular form
Suppose $f$ is a classical modular form of weight $r$ for a (congruence) group $\Gamma$. Let $\gamma$ be any matrix in $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. Then the slash operator $|_\gamma$ is usually ...

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 ...

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(\...

Computing coefficients of theta functions associated to quadratic forms
If we take an integral positive definite quadratic form $Q$ and set $\Theta_Q(z) = \sum_{k\geq 0}R_Q(k)e^{2\pi ikz}$, what are the most efficient algorithms to compute the $R_Q(k)$? I am aware e.g. of ...
