Modular symbols {alpha, beta}¶

The ModularSymbol class represents a single modular symbol $X^i Y^{k-2-i} \{\alpha, \beta\}$ .

AUTHOR:

William Stein (2005, 2009)

TESTS:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11).2.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
{-1/9, 0}
sage: loads(dumps(s)) == s
True

class sage.modular.modsym.modular_symbols.ModularSymbol(space, i, alpha, beta)¶

Bases: sage.structure.sage_object.SageObject

The modular symbol $X^i\cdot Y^{k-2-i}\cdot \{\alpha, \beta\}$ .

alpha()¶

For a symbol of the form $X^i Y^{k-2-i}\{\alpha, \beta\}$ , return $\alpha$ .

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11,4).1.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
X^2*{-1/6, 0}
sage: s.alpha()
-1/6
sage: type(s.alpha())
<class 'sage.modular.cusps.Cusp'>

apply(g)¶

Act on this symbol by the element $g \in {\rm GL}_2(\QQ)$ .

INPUT:

g – a list [a,b,c,d], corresponding to the 2x2 matrix $\begin{pmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{pmatrix} \in {\rm GL}_2(\QQ)$ .

OUTPUT:

FormalSum – a formal sum $\sum_i c_i x_i$ , where $c_i$ are scalars and $x_i$ are ModularSymbol objects, such that the sum $\sum_i c_i x_i$ is the image of this symbol under the action of g. No reduction is performed modulo the relations that hold in self.space().

The action of $g$ on symbols is by

$P(X,Y)\{\alpha, \beta\} \mapsto P(dX-bY, -cx+aY) \{g(\alpha), g(\beta)\}.$

Note that for us we have $P=X^i Y^{k-2-i}$ , which simplifies computation of the polynomial part slightly.

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11,2).1.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
{-1/8, 0}
sage: a=1;b=2;c=3;d=4; s.apply([a,b,c,d])
{15/29, 1/2}
sage: x = -1/8;  (a*x+b)/(c*x+d)
15/29
sage: x = 0;  (a*x+b)/(c*x+d)
1/2
sage: s = ModularSymbols(11,4).1.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
X^2*{-1/6, 0}
sage: s.apply([a,b,c,d])
16*X^2*{11/21, 1/2} - 16*X*Y*{11/21, 1/2} + 4*Y^2*{11/21, 1/2}
sage: P = s.polynomial_part()
sage: X,Y = P.parent().gens()
sage: P(d*X-b*Y, -c*X+a*Y)
16*X^2 - 16*X*Y + 4*Y^2
sage: x=-1/6; (a*x+b)/(c*x+d)
11/21
sage: x=0; (a*x+b)/(c*x+d)
1/2
sage: type(s.apply([a,b,c,d]))
<class 'sage.structure.formal_sum.FormalSum'>

beta()¶

For a symbol of the form $X^i Y^{k-2-i}\{\alpha, \beta\}$ , return $\beta$ .

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11,4).1.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
X^2*{-1/6, 0}
sage: s.beta()
0
sage: type(s.beta())
<class 'sage.modular.cusps.Cusp'>

i()¶

For a symbol of the form $X^i Y^{k-2-i}\{\alpha, \beta\}$ , return $i$ .

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11).2.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]
sage: s.i()
0
sage: s = ModularSymbols(1,28).0.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
X^22*Y^4*{0, Infinity}
sage: s.i()
22

manin_symbol_rep()¶

Returns a representation of self as a formal sum of Manin symbols. (The result is not cached.)

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(11,4)
sage: s = M.1.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
X^2*{-1/6, 0}
sage: s.manin_symbol_rep()
-[Y^2,(1,1)] - 2*[X*Y,(-1,0)] - [X^2,(-6,1)] - [X^2,(-1,0)]
sage: M(s.manin_symbol_rep()) == M([2,-1/6,0])
True

polynomial_part()¶

Return the polynomial part of this symbol, i.e. for a symbol of the form $X^i Y^{k-2-i}\{\alpha, \beta\}$ , return $X^i Y^{k-2-i}$ .

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11).2.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]
sage: s.polynomial_part()
1
sage: s = ModularSymbols(1,28).0.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]; s
X^22*Y^4*{0, Infinity}
sage: s.polynomial_part()
X^22*Y^4

space()¶

The list of Manin symbols to which this symbol belongs.

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(11).2.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]
sage: s.space()
Manin Symbol List of weight 2 for Gamma0(11)

weight()¶

Return the weight of the modular symbols space to which this symbol belongs; i.e. for a symbol of the form $X^i Y^{k-2-i}\{\alpha, \beta\}$ , return $k$ .

EXAMPLES:

sage: s = ModularSymbols(1,28).0.modular_symbol_rep()[0][1]
sage: s.weight()
28
