Mod 2 modular forms in levels 5 and 25--how to account for this Hecke isomorphism?

The space $P1$ of my earlier question 203755 "Two spaces attached to mod 2 level 9 modular forms...", is essentially the space of mod 2 level 3 modular forms. That such a space should appear inside ...

Two spaces attached to mod 2 level 9 modular forms--a conjectural Hecke isomorphism

MOTIVATION Nicolas and Serre have analyzed the structure of the space of mod $2$ modular forms of level $1$, viewed as a "Hecke-module". They show that for each $p>2$, the operator $T_p$ acting on ...

Are these powers of a characteristic 3 power series annihilated by certain Hecke operators?

Let D in Z/3[[x]] be sum ((a_n)(x^n)) where the sum runs over all n prime to 6 and a_n is the mod 3 reduction of the number of ideals of norm n in the ring of integers of Q(root(-3)). (So D=x+2(x^7)+2(...

Are these two subspaces of $\mathbb{Z}/2[[x]]$ the same?

The following questions arise from modular form theory. But this theory isn't needed to formulate or understand them, and I'm not using the modular-forms tag. NOTATION Fix an odd prime $N$. Let $$ ...
