decomposition(bound=None, anemic=True, height_guess=1, proof=None)

Returns the maximal decomposition of this Hecke module under the action of Hecke operators of index coprime to the level. This is the finest decomposition of self that we can obtain using factors obtained by taking kernels of Hecke operators.

Each factor in the decomposition is a Hecke submodule obtained as the kernel of f(T_n)^r acting on self, where n is coprime to the level and r=1. If anemic is False, instead choose r so that f(X)^r exactly divides the characteristic polynomial.

INPUT:

  • anemic - bool (default: True), if True, use only Hecke operators of index coprime to the level.
  • bound - int or None, (default: None). If None, use all Hecke operators up to the Sturm bound, and hence obtain the same result as one would obtain by using every element of the Hecke ring. If a fixed integer, decompose using only Hecke operators T_p, with p prime, up to bound.

OUTPUT:

  • list - a list of subspaces of self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: ModularSymbols(17,2).decomposition()
[
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 1 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 3 for Gamma_0(17) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field,
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 3 for Gamma_0(17) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field

Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 5 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 9 for Congruence Subgroup Gamma_H(12) with H generated by [11] of weight 2 with sign 0 and over Rational Field
]
degree()

The degree of this Hecke module (i.e. the rank of the ambient free module)

EXAMPLE:

sage: CuspForms(1, 12).degree()
2
dual_eigenvector(names='alpha', lift=True, nz=None)

Return an eigenvector for the Hecke operators acting on the linear dual of this space. This eigenvector will have entries in an extension of the base ring of degree equal to the dimension of this space.

INPUT:

  • name - print name of generator for eigenvalue field.
  • lift - bool (default: True)
  • nz - if not None, then normalize vector so dot product with this basis vector of ambient space is 1.

OUTPUT: A vector with entries possibly in an extension of the base ring. This vector is an eigenvector for all Hecke operators acting via their transpose.

If lift = False, instead return an eigenvector in the subspace for the Hecke operators on the dual space. I.e., this is an eigenvector for the restrictions of Hecke operators to the dual space.

Note

  1. The answer is cached so subsequent calls always return the same vector. However, the algorithm is randomized, so calls during another session may yield a different eigenvector. This function is used mainly for computing systems of Hecke eigenvalues.
  2. One can also view a dual eigenvector as defining (via dot product) a functional phi from the ambient space of modular symbols to a field. This functional phi is an eigenvector for the dual action of Hecke operators on functionals.

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularSymbols(14).cuspidal_subspace().simple_factors()[1].dual_eigenvector()
(0, 1, 0, 0, 0)
dual_hecke_matrix(n)

The matrix of the n^{th} Hecke operator acting on the dual embedded representation of self.

EXAMPLE:

sage: CuspForms(1, 24).dual_hecke_matrix(5)
[     44656110        -15040]
[-307849789440      28412910]
eigenvalue(n, name='alpha')

Assuming that self is a simple space, return the eigenvalue of the n^{th} Hecke operator on self.

INPUT:

  • n - index of Hecke operator
  • name - print representation of generator of eigenvalue field

EXAMPLES:

sage: A = ModularSymbols(125,sign=1).new_subspace()[0]
sage: A.eigenvalue(7)
-3
sage: A.eigenvalue(3)
-alpha - 2
sage: A.eigenvalue(3,'w')
-w - 2
sage: A.eigenvalue(3,'z').charpoly('x')
x^2 + 3*x + 1
sage: A.hecke_polynomial(3)
x^2 + 3*x + 1
sage: M = ModularSymbols(Gamma1(17)).decomposition()[8].plus_submodule()
sage: M.eigenvalue(2,'a')
a
sage: M.eigenvalue(4,'a')
4/3*a^3 + 17/3*a^2 + 28/3*a + 8/3

Note

  1. In fact there are d systems of eigenvalues associated to self, where d is the rank of self. Each of the systems of eigenvalues is conjugate over the base field. This function chooses one of the systems and consistently returns eigenvalues from that system. Thus these are the coefficients a_n for n\geq 1 of a modular eigenform attached to self.
  2. This function works even for Eisenstein subspaces, though it will not give the constant coefficient of one of the corresponding Eisenstein series (i.e., the generalized Bernoulli number).
factor_number()

If this Hecke module was computed via a decomposition of another Hecke module, this is the corresponding number. Otherwise return -1.

EXAMPLES:

sage: ModularSymbols(23)[0].factor_number()

EXAMPLE:

sage: C = CuspForms(1, 16)
sage: C.hecke_matrix(3)
[-3348]
hecke_operator(n)

Returns the n-th Hecke operator T_n.

INPUT:

  • ModularSymbols self - Hecke equivariant space of modular symbols
  • int n - an integer at least 1.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(11,2)
sage: T = M.hecke_operator(3) ; T
Hecke operator T_3 on Modular Symbols space of dimension 3 for Gamma_0(11) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field
sage: T.matrix()
[ 4  0 -1]
[ 0 -1  0]
[ 0  0 -1]

[ 0 -1]
sage: T(S.0)
-(1,8)
hecke_polynomial(n, var='x')

Return the characteristic polynomial of the n^{th} Hecke operator acting on this space.

INPUT:

  • n - integer

OUTPUT: a polynomial

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularSymbols(11,2).hecke_polynomial(3)
x^3 - 2*x^2 - 7*x - 4
is_simple()

Return True if this space is simple as a module for the corresponding Hecke algebra. Raises NotImplementedError, as this is an abstract base class.

EXAMPLE:

sage: sage.modular.hecke.module.HeckeModule_free_module(QQ, 10, 3).is_simple()
...
NotImplementedError
is_splittable()

Returns True if and only if only it is possible to split off a nontrivial generalized eigenspace of self as the kernel of some Hecke operator (not necessarily prime to the level). Note that the direct sum of several copies of the same simple module is not splittable in this sense.

EXAMPLE:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(Gamma0(64)).cuspidal_subspace()
sage: M.is_splittable()
True
sage: M.simple_factors()[0].is_splittable()
False
is_splittable_anemic()

Returns true if and only if only it is possible to split off a nontrivial generalized eigenspace of self as the kernel of some Hecke operator of index coprime to the level. Note that the direct sum of several copies of the same simple module is not splittable in this sense.

EXAMPLE:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(Gamma0(64)).cuspidal_subspace()
sage: M.is_splittable_anemic()
True
sage: M.simple_factors()[0].is_splittable_anemic()
False
is_submodule(other)

False
ngens()

Number of generators of self (equal to the rank).

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularForms(1, 12).ngens()
2
projection()

Return the projection map from the ambient space to self.

ALGORITHM: Let B be the matrix whose columns are obtained by concatenating together a basis for the factors of the ambient space. Then the projection matrix onto self is the submatrix of B^{-1} obtained from the rows corresponding to self, i.e., if the basis vectors for self appear as columns n through m of B, then the projection matrix is got from rows n through m of B^{-1}. This is because projection with respect to the B basis is just given by an m-n+1 row slice P of a diagonal matrix D with 1’s in the n through m positions, so projection with respect to the standard basis is given by P\cdot B^{-1}, which is just rows n through m of B^{-1}.

EXAMPLES:

sage: e = EllipticCurve('34a')
sage: m = ModularSymbols(34); s = m.cuspidal_submodule()
sage: d = s.decomposition(7)
sage: d
[
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 9 for Gamma_0(34) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field,
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 4 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 9 for Gamma_0(34) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field
]
sage: a = d[0]; a
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 9 for Gamma_0(34) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field
sage: pi = a.projection()
sage: pi(m([0,oo]))
-1/6*(2,7) + 1/6*(2,13) - 1/6*(2,31) + 1/6*(2,33)
sage: M = ModularSymbols(53,sign=1)
sage: S = M.cuspidal_subspace()[1] ; S
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 3 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 5 for Gamma_0(53) of weight 2 with sign 1 over Rational Field
sage: p = S.projection()
sage: S.basis()
((1,33) - (1,37), (1,35), (1,49))
sage: [ p(x) for x in S.basis() ]
[(1,33) - (1,37), (1,35), (1,49)]
system_of_eigenvalues(n, name='alpha')

Assuming that self is a simple space of modular symbols, return the eigenvalues [a_1, \ldots, a_nmax] of the Hecke operators on self. See self.eigenvalue(n) for more details.

INPUT:

  • n - number of eigenvalues
  • alpha - name of generate for eigenvalue field

EXAMPLES: These computations use pseudo-random numbers, so we set the seed for reproducible testing.

sage: set_random_seed(0)

The computations also use cached results from other computations, so we clear the caches for reproducible testing.

sage: ModularSymbols_clear_cache()

We compute eigenvalues for newforms of level 62.

sage: M = ModularSymbols(62,2,sign=-1)
sage: S = M.cuspidal_submodule().new_submodule()
sage: [A.system_of_eigenvalues(3) for A in S.decomposition()]
[[1, 1, 0], [1, -1, -alpha - 1]]

Next we define a function that does the above:

sage: def b(N,k=2):
...    t=cputime()
...    S = ModularSymbols(N,k,sign=-1).cuspidal_submodule().new_submodule()
...    for A in S.decomposition():
...        print N, A.system_of_eigenvalues(5)
sage: b(63)
63 [1, 1, 0, -1, 2]
63 [1, alpha, 0, 1, -2*alpha]

This example illustrates finding field over which the eigenvalues are defined:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(23,2,sign=1).cuspidal_submodule().new_submodule()
sage: v = M.system_of_eigenvalues(10); v
[1, alpha, -2*alpha - 1, -alpha - 1, 2*alpha, alpha - 2, 2*alpha + 2, -2*alpha - 1, 2, -2*alpha + 2]
sage: v[0].parent()
Number Field in alpha with defining polynomial x^2 + x - 1            

This example illustrates setting the print name of the eigenvalue field.

sage: A = ModularSymbols(125,sign=1).new_subspace()[0]
sage: A.system_of_eigenvalues(10)
[1, alpha, -alpha - 2, -alpha - 1, 0, -alpha - 1, -3, -2*alpha - 1, 3*alpha + 2, 0]
sage: A.system_of_eigenvalues(10,'x')
[1, x, -x - 2, -x - 1, 0, -x - 1, -3, -2*x - 1, 3*x + 2, 0]

EXAMPLES:

Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 0 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 6 for Gamma_0(11) of weight 4 with sign 0 over Rational Field
sage: CuspForms(11,4).zero_submodule()
Modular Forms subspace of dimension 0 of Modular Forms space of dimension 4 for Congruence Subgroup Gamma0(11) of weight 4 over Rational Field
class sage.modular.hecke.module.HeckeModule_generic(base_ring, level, category=None)

Bases: sage.modules.module.Module

A very general base class for Hecke modules.

We define a Hecke module of weight k to be a module over a commutative ring equipped with an action of operators T_m for all positive integers m coprime to some integer n`(the level), which satisfy `T_r T_s = T_{rs} for r,s coprime, and for powers of a prime p, T_{p^r} = T_{p} T_{p^{r-1}} -
\varepsilon(p) p^{k-1} T_{p^{r-2}}, where \varepsilon(p) is some endomorphism of the module which commutes with the T_m.

We distinguish between full Hecke modules, which also have an action of operators T_m for m not assumed to be coprime to the level, and anemic Hecke modules, for which this does not hold.

anemic_hecke_algebra()

Return the Hecke algebra associated to this Hecke module.

EXAMPLES:

sage: T = ModularSymbols(1,12).hecke_algebra()
sage: A = ModularSymbols(1,12).anemic_hecke_algebra()

sage: A.is_anemic()

Synonym for rank.

EXAMPLE:

sage: M = sage.modular.hecke.module.HeckeModule_generic(QQ, 10).dimension()

sage: T.is_anemic()
False

sage: E, A, B = M.decomposition()
sage: A.hecke_algebra() == B.hecke_algebra()
False
is_full_hecke_module()

Return True if this space is invariant under all Hecke operators.

Since self is guaranteed to be an anemic Hecke module, the significance of this function is that it also ensures invariance under Hecke operators of index that divide the level.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(22); M.is_full_hecke_module()
True
sage: M.submodule(M.free_module().span([M.0.list()]), check=False).is_full_hecke_module()
False
is_hecke_invariant(n)

Return True if self is invariant under the Hecke operator T_n.

Since self is guaranteed to be an anemic Hecke module it is only interesting to call this function when n is not coprime to the level.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(22).cuspidal_subspace()
sage: M.is_hecke_invariant(2)
True

We use check=False to create a nasty “module” that is not invariant under T_2:

sage: S = M.submodule(M.free_module().span([M.0.list()]), check=False); S
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 1 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 7 for Gamma_0(22) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field
sage: S.is_hecke_invariant(2)
False
sage: [n for n in range(1,12) if S.is_hecke_invariant(n)]
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11]
is_zero()

sage: CuspForms(10).is_zero()
True
sage: CuspForms(1,12).is_zero()
False
level()

INPUT:

  • ModularSymbols self - an arbitrary space of modular symbols

OUTPUT:

  • int - the level

EXAMPLES:

sage: m = ModularSymbols(20)
sage: m.level()
20
rank()

Return the rank of this module over its base ring. Returns NotImplementedError, since this is an abstract base class.

EXAMPLES:

sage: sage.modular.hecke.module.HeckeModule_generic(QQ, 10).rank()
...
NotImplementedError: Derived subclasses must implement rank
submodule(X)

Return the submodule of self corresponding to X. As this is an abstract base class, this raises a NotImplementedError.

EXAMPLES:

sage: sage.modular.hecke.module.HeckeModule_generic(QQ, 10).submodule(0)
...
NotImplementedError: Derived subclasses should implement submodule
sage.modular.hecke.module.is_HeckeModule(x)

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.modular.hecke.module import is_HeckeModule
sage: is_HeckeModule(ModularForms(Gamma0(7), 4))

False
sage: is_HeckeModule(J0(37).homology())
True
