What is the matter with Hecke operators?

This question is inspired by some others on MathOverflow. Hecke operators are standardly defined by double cosets acting on automorphic forms, in an explicit way. However, what bother me is that ...

Why is there a factor $p$ in the definition of $T_p$ via Hecke correspondences on modular curves?

Fix $N\ge4$. Let $Y_1(N)$ and $X_1(N)$ be the usual modular curves. I want to view them as schemes over $\mathbb Z$ representing the moduli functors of (usual or generalized) elliptic curves with (...

Distribution relation in the Euler system of Heegner points

I am trying to understand the details behind the so-called "distribution relations" between Heegner points on the modular curve $X_0(N)$, as given (for instance) in Gross's paper Kolyvagin's work on ...

How does one compute the Hecke algebra acting on modular forms?

I asked this on mathstackexchange, but got no answer. Let $N\geq1$ be an integer, and let $\mathbb{T}$ be the Hecke algebra acting on the cusp forms of weight k and level $\Gamma_0(N)$. Then $\...

How explain these remarkable empirical observations about mod 3 modular forms of levels 1 and 5?

Define $b(n)$ by $b(0)= 0$, $b(3n)= 9b(n)$, $b(3n+1)= 9b(n) + 1$, $b(3n+2)= 9b(n) + 3$. (This sequence does not show up in the OEIS, but the similar Moser-de Bruijn sequence A000695 appears in many ...

Origin of definitions of ramified Hecke operators

Consider a classical space $M_k(N)$ of elliptic modular forms of weight $k$ for $\Gamma_0(N)$. The definition of an unramified Hecke operator $T_{p^m}$ in terms of double cosets is the disjoint union ...

Riemann hypothesis for the Hecke operators and modular forms

Let $f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty a(n) e^{2i \pi nz}$ be an eigenform of $S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$. Since the Hecke operator acts by $T_p f = a_p f$ the Riemann hypothesis for $f$'s L-function is $$ \!\!\! \!\...

Local L-factors for automorphic representations

For Hecke L-functions associated to a holomorphic cusp form $f$ of level $N$, the local factors can be decomposed into $$L_p(s, f) = (1-\lambda_f(p)p^{-s} + \chi_N(p)p^{-2s})^{-1}$$ where $\chi_N$ is ...
