¶The modular form
is perhaps the world’s most famous modular form. We compute some terms from the definition.
sage: R.<q> = QQ[[]]
sage: q * prod( 1-q^n+O(q^6) for n in (1..5) )^24
q - 24*q^2 + 252*q^3 - 1472*q^4 + 4830*q^5 - 6048*q^6 + O(q^7)
There are much better ways to compute , which
amount to just a few polynomial multiplications over
.
sage: D = delta_qexp(10^5) # less than 10 seconds
sage: D[:10]
q - 24*q^2 + 252*q^3 - 1472*q^4 + ...
sage: [p for p in primes(10^5) if D[p] % p == 0]
[2, 3, 5, 7, 2411]
sage: D[2411]
4542041100095889012
sage: f = eisenstein_series_qexp(12,6) - D[:6]; f
691/65520 + 2073*q^2 + 176896*q^3 + 4197825*q^4 + 48823296*q^5 + O(q^6)
sage: f % 691
O(q^6)
The Victor Miller basis for
is the reduced row echelon
basis. It’s a lemma that it has all integer coefficients, and a
rather nice diagonal shape.
sage: victor_miller_basis(24, 6)
[
1 + 52416000*q^3 + 39007332000*q^4 + 6609020221440*q^5 + O(q^6),
q + 195660*q^3 + 12080128*q^4 + 44656110*q^5 + O(q^6),
q^2 - 48*q^3 + 1080*q^4 - 15040*q^5 + O(q^6)

Note: Craig Citro has made the above computation an order of magnitude faster in code he hasn’t quite got into Sage yet.
“I’ll clean those up and submit them soon, since I need them for something I’m working on ... I’m currently in the process of making spaces of modular forms of level one subclass the existing code, and actually take advantage of all our fastand
