Why is there a weight 2 modular form congruent to any modular form

I got my copy of Computational Aspects of Modular Forms and Galois Representations in the mail yesterday. The goal of the book is "How one can compute in polynomial time the value of Ramanujan's tau a …

Tunnel like theorem: is there an interesting function with fourier coefficients related to $...

Tunnel's result on the congruent number problem hinges on the fact that there are modular forms with fourier coefficients related to the values $L(E_n,1)$. Is there an interesting function that has c …

Geometric meaning of fiber of modular parameterization over a point of an elliptic curve?

Given an elliptic curve $E/\mathbb{Q}$ of conductor $N$, parameterization $\psi : X_0(N) \rightarrow E$, and a point $P \in E$, take the fiber $\psi^{-1}(P)$. Its points, being on $X_0(N)$, correspond …

When does a modular form satisfy a differential equation with rational coefficients?

Given a modular form $f$ of weight $k$ for a congruence subgroup $\Gamma$, and a modular function $t$ with $t(i\infty)=0$, we can form a function $F$ such that $F(t(z))=f(z)$ (at least locally), and w …
