Generic spaces of modular forms¶

EXAMPLES (computation of base ring): Return the base ring of this space of modular forms.

EXAMPLES: For spaces of modular forms for \(\Gamma_0(N)\) or \(\Gamma_1(N)\), the default base ring is \(\QQ\):

Sage

sage: ModularForms(11,2).base_ring()
Rational Field
sage: ModularForms(1,12).base_ring()
Rational Field
sage: CuspForms(Gamma1(13),3).base_ring()
Rational Field

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> ModularForms(Integer(11),Integer(2)).base_ring()
Rational Field
>>> ModularForms(Integer(1),Integer(12)).base_ring()
Rational Field
>>> CuspForms(Gamma1(Integer(13)),Integer(3)).base_ring()
Rational Field

The base ring can be explicitly specified in the constructor function.

Sage

sage: ModularForms(11,2,base_ring=GF(13)).base_ring()
Finite Field of size 13

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> ModularForms(Integer(11),Integer(2),base_ring=GF(Integer(13))).base_ring()
Finite Field of size 13

For modular forms with character the default base ring is the field generated by the image of the character.

Sage

sage: ModularForms(DirichletGroup(13).0,3).base_ring()
Cyclotomic Field of order 12 and degree 4

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> ModularForms(DirichletGroup(Integer(13)).gen(0),Integer(3)).base_ring()
Cyclotomic Field of order 12 and degree 4

For example, if the character is quadratic then the field is \(\QQ\) (if the characteristic is \(0\)).

Sage

sage: ModularForms(DirichletGroup(13).0^6,3).base_ring()
Rational Field

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> ModularForms(DirichletGroup(Integer(13)).gen(0)**Integer(6),Integer(3)).base_ring()
Rational Field

An example in characteristic \(7\):

Sage

sage: ModularForms(13,3,base_ring=GF(7)).base_ring()
Finite Field of size 7

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> ModularForms(Integer(13),Integer(3),base_ring=GF(Integer(7))).base_ring()
Finite Field of size 7

character()[source]¶

Return the Dirichlet character corresponding to this space of modular forms. Returns None if there is no specific character corresponding to this space, e.g., if this is a space of modular forms on \(\Gamma_1(N)\) with \(N>1\).

EXAMPLES: The trivial character:

Sage

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> ModularForms(Gamma0(Integer(11)),Integer(2)).character()

Spaces of forms with nontrivial character:

Sage

sage: ModularForms(DirichletGroup(20).0,3).character()
Dirichlet character modulo 20 of conductor 4 mapping 11 |--> -1, 17 |--> 1

sage: M = ModularForms(DirichletGroup(11).0, 3)

Dirichlet character modulo 11 of conductor 11 mapping 2 |--> zeta10
>>> s = M.cuspidal_submodule()
>>> s.character()
Dirichlet character modulo 11 of conductor 11 mapping 2 |--> zeta10
>>> CuspForms(DirichletGroup(Integer(11)).gen(0),Integer(3)).character()
Dirichlet character modulo 11 of conductor 11 mapping 2 |--> zeta10

A space of forms with no particular character (hence None is returned):

Sage

sage: print(ModularForms(Gamma1(11),2).character())
None

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> print(ModularForms(Gamma1(Integer(11)),Integer(2)).character())
None

If the level is one then the character is trivial.

Sage

sage: ModularForms(Gamma1(1),12).character()

echelon_form()[source]¶

Return a space of modular forms isomorphic to self but with basis of \(q\)-expansions in reduced echelon form.

This is useful, e.g., the default basis for spaces of modular forms is rarely in echelon form, but echelon form is useful for quickly recognizing whether a \(q\)-expansion is in the space.

EXAMPLES: We first illustrate two ambient spaces and their echelon forms.

Sage

Congruence Subgroup Gamma0(12)

Sage

sage: CuspForms(Gamma1(113),2).group()
Congruence Subgroup Gamma1(113)

Python

>>> from sage.all import *

2*q^4 - 2*q^8 + O(q^10),
q^5 - 2*q^8 + 2*q^9 + O(q^10),
q^6 + 2*q^7 + 5*q^8 - 5*q^9 + O(q^10),
3*q^7 + 6*q^8 - 4*q^9 + O(q^10)
]
>>> s.echelon_basis()
[
q + 2/3*q^9 + O(q^10),
q^2 + 2*q^8 - 5/3*q^9 + O(q^10),
q^3 - 2*q^8 + q^9 + O(q^10),

q^5 + O(q^6)

]

set_precision(new_prec)[source]¶

O(q^0)
]

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> S.set_precision(Integer(0))
>>> S.basis()
[
O(q^0),
O(q^0)
]

The precision of subspaces is the same as the precision of the ambient space.

Sage

sage: S.set_precision(2)
sage: M.basis()
[
q + O(q^2),
O(q^2),
1 + 2/3*q + O(q^2)

>>> S.set_precision(Integer(2))
>>> M.basis()
[
q + O(q^2),
O(q^2),
1 + 2/3*q + O(q^2)
]

The precision must be nonnegative:

Sage

sage: S.set_precision(-1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: n (=-1) must be >= 0

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> S.set_precision(-Integer(1))
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: n (=-1) must be >= 0

We do another example with nontrivial character.

Sage

sage: M.set_precision(10)
sage: M.cuspidal_subspace().0
q + (-zeta6 - 1)*q^2 + (2*zeta6 - 2)*q^3 + zeta6*q^4 + (-2*zeta6 + 1)*q^5 + (-2*zeta6 + 4)*q^6 + (2*zeta6 - 1)*q^8 - zeta6*q^9 + O(q^10)

sturm_bound(M=None)[source]¶

For a space M of modular forms, this function returns an integer B such that two modular forms in either self or M are equal if and only if their \(q\)-expansions are equal to precision B (note that this is 1+ the usual Sturm bound, since \(O(q^\mathrm{prec})\) has precision prec). If M is none, then M is set equal to self.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: S37=CuspForms(37,2)
sage: S37.sturm_bound()
8
sage: M = ModularForms(11,2)
sage: M.sturm_bound()
3
sage: ModularForms(Gamma1(15),2).sturm_bound()
33

sage: CuspForms(Gamma1(144), 3).sturm_bound()
3457
sage: CuspForms(DirichletGroup(144).1^2, 3).sturm_bound()
73
sage: CuspForms(Gamma0(144), 3).sturm_bound()
73

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> S37=CuspForms(Integer(37),Integer(2))
>>> S37.sturm_bound()
8
>>> M = ModularForms(Integer(11),Integer(2))
>>> M.sturm_bound()
3
>>> ModularForms(Gamma1(Integer(15)),Integer(2)).sturm_bound()
33

>>> CuspForms(Gamma1(Integer(144)), Integer(3)).sturm_bound()
3457
>>> CuspForms(DirichletGroup(Integer(144)).gen(1)**Integer(2), Integer(3)).sturm_bound()
73
>>> CuspForms(Gamma0(Integer(144)), Integer(3)).sturm_bound()
73

NOTE:

Kevin Buzzard pointed out to me (William Stein) in Fall 2002 that the above bound is fine for Gamma1 with character, as one sees by taking a power of \(f\). More precisely, if \(f\cong 0\pmod{p}\) for first \(s\) coefficients, then \(f^r = 0 \pmod{p}\) for first \(s r\) coefficients. Since the weight of \(f^r\) is \(r \text{weight}(f)\), it follows that if \(s \geq\) the Sturm bound for \(\Gamma_0\) at weight(f), then \(f^r\) has valuation large enough to be forced to be \(0\) at \(r\cdot\) weight(f) by Sturm bound (which is valid if we choose \(r\) right). Thus \(f \cong 0 \pmod{p}\). Conclusion: For \(\Gamma_1\) with fixed character, the Sturm bound is exactly the same as for \(\Gamma_0\). A key point is that we are finding \(\ZZ[\varepsilon]\) generators for the Hecke algebra here, not \(\ZZ\)-generators. So if one wants generators for the Hecke algebra over \(\ZZ\), this bound is wrong.

This bound works over any base, even a finite field. There might be much better bounds over \(\QQ\), or for comparing two eigenforms.

weight()[source]¶

Return the weight of this space of modular forms.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: M = ModularForms(Gamma1(13),11)
sage: M.weight()
11

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> M = ModularForms(Gamma1(Integer(13)),Integer(11))
>>> M.weight()
11

Sage

sage: M = ModularForms(Gamma0(997),100)
sage: M.weight()
100

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> M = ModularForms(Gamma0(Integer(997)),Integer(100))
>>> M.weight()
100

Sage

sage: M = ModularForms(Gamma0(97),4)
sage: M.weight()
4
sage: M.eisenstein_submodule().weight()
4

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> M = ModularForms(Gamma0(Integer(97)),Integer(4))
>>> M.weight()
4
>>> M.eisenstein_submodule().weight()
4

sage.modular.modform.space.contains_each(V, B)[source]¶

Determine whether or not V contains every element of B. Used here for linear algebra, but works very generally.

EXAMPLES:

Sage

sage: contains_each = sage.modular.modform.space.contains_each
sage: contains_each( range(20), prime_range(20) )
True
sage: contains_each( range(20), range(30) )
False

Python

>>> from sage.all import *
>>> contains_each = sage.modular.modform.space.contains_each
>>> contains_each( range(Integer(20)), prime_range(Integer(20)) )
True
>>> contains_each( range(Integer(20)), range(Integer(30)) )
False

sage.modular.modform.space.is_ModularFormsSpace(x)[source]¶

Return True if x is a ModularFormsSpace.
