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 …

Does this variant of a theorem of Hasse (really due to Gauss) have an "elementary" proof?

BACKGROUND Here are 3 theorems of varying difficulty. Let $M$ be the $Z/2$ subspace of $Z/2[[x]]$ spanned by $f^k$, with the $k>0$ and odd, and $f=x+x^9+x^{25}+x^{49}+\cdots$. For $g$ in $M$, let $S( …

More questions involving characteristic 2 theta series identities

In my answer to my earlier question, "Existence of certain identities involving characteristic 2 thetas", I established some curious identities when the thetas have prime "level" congruent to 1 mod 4 …

Variations on a theme of O'Bryant, Cooper and Eichhorn concerning power series over $\mathbb...

Define 2 power series over the field $\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z$ by $f=1+x+x^3+x^6+\dots$, the exponents being the triangular numbers, and $g=1+x+x^4+x^9+\dots$, the exponents being the squares. Write $f/g …
