# Space of modular symbols (base class)¶

All the spaces of modular symbols derive from this class. This class is an abstract base class.

class sage.modular.modsym.space.IntegralPeriodMapping(modsym, A)

Standard initialisation function.

INPUT:

• modsym - a space of modular symbols
• A - matrix of the associated period map

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularSymbols(2, 8).cuspidal_submodule().integral_period_mapping() # indirect doctest
Integral period mapping associated to Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 4 for Gamma_0(2) of weight 8 with sign 0 over Rational Field

class sage.modular.modsym.space.ModularSymbolsSpace(group, weight, character, sign, base_ring)

Base class for spaces of modular symbols.

abelian_variety()

Return the corresponding abelian variety.

INPUT:

• self - modular symbols space of weight 2 for a congruence subgroup such as Gamma0, Gamma1 or GammaH.

EXAMPLES:

sage: ModularSymbols(Gamma0(11)).cuspidal_submodule().abelian_variety()
Abelian variety J0(11) of dimension 1
sage: ModularSymbols(Gamma1(11)).cuspidal_submodule().abelian_variety()
Abelian variety J1(11) of dimension 1
sage: ModularSymbols(GammaH(11,[3])).cuspidal_submodule().abelian_variety()
Abelian variety JH(11,[3]) of dimension 1


The abelian variety command only works on cuspidal modular symbols spaces:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(37)
sage: M[0].abelian_variety()
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ValueError: self must be cuspidal
sage: M[1].abelian_variety()
Abelian subvariety of dimension 1 of J0(37)
sage: M[2].abelian_variety()
Abelian subvariety of dimension 1 of J0(37)

abvarquo_cuspidal_subgroup()

Compute the rational subgroup of the cuspidal subgroup (as an abstract abelian group) of the abelian variety quotient A of the relevant modular Jacobian attached to this modular symbols space.

We assume that self is defined over QQ and has weight 2. If the sign of self is not 0, then the power of 2 may be wrong.

EXAMPLES:

sage: D = ModularSymbols(66,2,sign=0).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace().decomposition()
sage: D[0].abvarquo_cuspidal_subgroup()
Finitely generated module V/W over Integer Ring with invariants (3)
sage: [A.abvarquo_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants() for A in D]
[(3,), (2,), ()]
sage: D = ModularSymbols(66,2,sign=1).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace().decomposition()
sage: [A.abvarquo_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants() for A in D]
[(3,), (2,), ()]
sage: D = ModularSymbols(66,2,sign=-1).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace().decomposition()
sage: [A.abvarquo_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants() for A in D]
[(), (), ()]

abvarquo_rational_cuspidal_subgroup()

Compute the rational subgroup of the cuspidal subgroup (as an abstract abelian group) of the abelian variety quotient A of the relevant modular Jacobian attached to this modular symbols space. If C is the subgroup of A generated by differences of cusps, then C is equipped with an action of Gal(Qbar/Q), and this function computes the fixed subgroup, i.e., C(Q).

We assume that self is defined over QQ and has weight 2. If the sign of self is not 0, then the power of 2 may be wrong.

EXAMPLES:

First we consider the fairly straightforward level 37 case, where the torsion subgroup of the optimal quotients (which are all elliptic curves) are all cuspidal:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(37).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace()
sage: D = M.decomposition()
sage: [(A.abvarquo_rational_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants(), A.T(19)[0,0]) for A in D]
[((), 0), ((3,), 2)]
sage: [(E.torsion_subgroup().invariants(),E.ap(19)) for E in cremona_optimal_curves([37])]
[((), 0), ((3,), 2)]


Next we consider level 54, where the rational cuspidal subgroups of the quotients are also cuspidal:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(54).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace()
sage: D = M.decomposition()
sage: [A.abvarquo_rational_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants() for A in D]
[(3,), (3,)]
sage: [E.torsion_subgroup().invariants() for E in cremona_optimal_curves([54])]
[(3,), (3,)]


Level 66 is interesting, since not all torsion of the quotient is rational. In fact, for each elliptic curve quotient, the $$\QQ$$-rational subgroup of the image of the cuspidal subgroup in the quotient is a nontrivial subgroup of $$E(\QQ)_{tor}$$. Thus not all torsion in the quotient is cuspidal!

sage: M = ModularSymbols(66).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace() sage: D = M.decomposition() sage: [(A.abvarquo_rational_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants(), A.T(19)[0,0]) for A in D] [((3,), -4), ((2,), 4), ((), 0)] sage: [(E.torsion_subgroup().invariants(),E.ap(19)) for E in cremona_optimal_curves([66])] [((6,), -4), ((4,), 4), ((10,), 0)] sage: [A.abelian_variety().rational_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants() for A in D] [[6], [4], [10]]

In this example, the abelian varieties involved all having dimension bigger than 1 (unlike above). We find that all torsion in the quotient in each of these cases is cuspidal:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(125).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace()
sage: D = M.decomposition()
sage: [A.abvarquo_rational_cuspidal_subgroup().invariants() for A in D]
[(), (5,), (5,)]
sage: [A.abelian_variety().rational_torsion_subgroup().multiple_of_order() for A in D]
[1, 5, 5]

character()

Return the character associated to self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: ModularSymbols(12,8).character()

sage: ModularSymbols(DirichletGroup(25).0, 4).character()
Dirichlet character modulo 25 of conductor 25 mapping 2 |--> zeta20

compact_system_of_eigenvalues(v, names='alpha', nz=None)

Return a compact system of eigenvalues $$a_n$$ for $$n\in v$$. This should only be called on simple factors of modular symbols spaces.

INPUT:

• v - a list of positive integers
• nz - (default: None); if given specifies a column index such that the dual module has that column nonzero.

OUTPUT:

• E - matrix such that E*v is a vector with components the eigenvalues $$a_n$$ for $$n \in v$$.
• v - a vector over a number field

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(43,2,1)[2]; M
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 4 for Gamma_0(43) of weight 2 with sign 1 over Rational Field
sage: E, v = M.compact_system_of_eigenvalues(prime_range(10))

sage: M = ModularSymbols(1,12,sign=1).cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace()
sage: A = M.decomposition()[0]
sage: A.compact_system_of_eigenvalues(prime_range(10))

[-16744], (1)
)

congruence_number(other, prec=None)

Given two cuspidal spaces of modular symbols, compute the congruence number, using prec terms of the $$q$$-expansions.

The congruence number is defined as follows. If $$V$$ is the submodule of integral cusp forms corresponding to self (saturated in $$\ZZ[[q]]$$, by definition) and $$W$$ is the submodule corresponding to other, each computed to precision prec, the congruence number is the index of $$V+W$$ in its saturation in $$\ZZ[[q]]$$.

If prec is not given it is set equal to the max of the hecke_bound function called on each space.

EXAMPLES:

sage: A, B = ModularSymbols(48, 2).cuspidal_submodule().decomposition() sage: A.congruence_number(B) 2
cuspidal_submodule()

Return the cuspidal submodule of self.

Note

This should be overridden by all derived classes.

8
sage: m.cuspidal_subspace().new_subspace().dimension()

default_prec()

Get the default precision for computation of $$q$$-expansion associated to the ambient space of this space of modular symbols (and all subspaces). Use set_default_prec to change the default precision.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(15)
sage: M.cuspidal_submodule().q_expansion_basis()
[
q - q^2 - q^3 - q^4 + q^5 + q^6 + O(q^8)
]
sage: M.set_default_prec(20)


Notice that setting the default precision of the ambient space affects the subspaces.

sage: M.cuspidal_submodule().q_expansion_basis()
[
q - q^2 - q^3 - q^4 + q^5 + q^6 + 3*q^8 + q^9 - q^10 - 4*q^11 + q^12 - 2*q^13 - q^15 - q^16 + 2*q^17 - q^18 + 4*q^19 + O(q^20)
]

64
sage: m.dimension_of_associated_cuspform_space()
32
sage: m = ModularSymbols(Gamma0(389),2,sign=1).cuspidal_subspace(); m.dimension()
32
sage: m.dimension_of_associated_cuspform_space()
32

dual_star_involution_matrix()

Return the matrix of the dual star involution, which is induced by complex conjugation on the linear dual of modular symbols.

Note

This should be overridden in all derived classes.

Traceback (most recent call last):

integral_basis()

Return a basis for the $$\ZZ$$-submodule of this modular symbols space spanned by the generators.

Modular symbols spaces for congruence subgroups have a $$\ZZ$$-structure. Computing this $$\ZZ$$-structure is expensive, so by default modular symbols spaces for congruence subgroups in Sage are defined over $$\QQ$$. This function returns a tuple of independent elements in this modular symbols space whose $$\ZZ$$-span is the corresponding space of modular symbols over $$\ZZ$$.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(11)
sage: M.basis()
((1,0), (1,8), (1,9))

integral_hecke_matrix(n)

sage: f = a.integral_period_mapping()
sage: e = m([0,oo])

intersection_number(M)

Given modular symbols spaces self and M in some common ambient space, returns the intersection number of these two spaces. This is the index in their saturation of the sum of their underlying integral structures.

If self and M are of weight two and defined over QQ, and correspond to newforms f and g, then this number equals the order of the intersection of the modular abelian varieties attached to f and g.

q_eigenform(prec, names=None)

Returns the q-expansion to precision prec of a new eigenform associated to self, where self must be new, cuspidal, and simple.

EXAMPLES:

sage: ModularSymbols(2, 8)[1].q_eigenform(5, 'a')
q - 8*q^2 + 12*q^3 + 64*q^4 + O(q^5)
sage: ModularSymbols(2, 8)[0].q_eigenform(5,'a')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ArithmeticError: self must be cuspidal.

q_eigenform_character(names=None)

Return the Dirichlet character associated to the specific choice of $$q$$-eigenform attached to this simple cuspidal modular symbols space.

INPUT:

- names -- string, name of the variable.

OUTPUT:

• a Dirichlet character taking values in the Hecke eigenvalue field, where the indeterminant of that field is determined by the given variable name.

EXAMPLES:

sage: f = ModularSymbols(Gamma1(13),2,sign=1).cuspidal_subspace().decomposition()[0]
sage: eps = f.q_eigenform_character('a'); eps
Dirichlet character modulo 13 of conductor 13 mapping 2 |--> -a - 1
sage: parent(eps)

The modular symbols space must be simple.:

sage: ModularSymbols(Gamma1(17),2,sign=1).cuspidal_submodule().q_eigenform_character('a')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ArithmeticError: self must be simple


If the character is specified when making the modular symbols space, then names need not be given and the returned character is just the character of the space.:

sage: f = ModularSymbols(kronecker_character(19),2,sign=1).cuspidal_subspace().decomposition()[0]
sage: f
Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 8 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 10 and level 76, weight 2, character [-1, -1], sign 1, over Rational Field
sage: f.q_eigenform_character()
Dirichlet character modulo 76 of conductor 76 mapping 39 |--> -1, 21 |--> -1
sage: f.q_eigenform_character() is f.character()
True

sage: M = ModularSymbols(Gamma1(13),2,sign=1).eisenstein_submodule()[0]
sage: M.q_eigenform_character('a')
Dirichlet character modulo 13 of conductor 13 mapping 2 |--> -1


The modular symbols space does not have to come from a decomposition:

sage: ModularSymbols(Gamma1(16),2,sign=1).cuspidal_submodule().q_eigenform_character('a')
Dirichlet character modulo 16 of conductor 16 mapping 15 |--> 1, 5 |--> -a - 1

q_expansion_basis(prec=None, algorithm='default')

Returns a basis of q-expansions (as power series) to precision prec of the space of modular forms associated to self. The q-expansions are defined over the same base ring as self, and a put in echelon form.

INPUT:

• self - a space of CUSPIDAL modular symbols
• prec - an integer
• algorithm - string:
• 'default' (default) - decide which algorithm to use based on heuristics
• 'hecke' - compute basis by computing homomorphisms T - K, where T is the Hecke algebra
• 'eigen' - compute basis using eigenvectors for the Hecke action and Atkin-Lehner-Li theory to patch them together
• 'all' - compute using hecke_dual and eigen algorithms and verify that the results are the same.

The computed basis is not cached, though of course Hecke operators used in computing the basis are cached.

q_expansion_cuspforms(prec=None)

Returns a function f(i,j) such that each value f(i,j) is the q-expansion, to the given precision, of an element of the corresponding space $$S$$ of cusp forms. Together these functions span $$S$$. Here $$i,j$$ are integers with $$0\leq i,j < d$$, where $$d$$ is the dimension of self.

For a reduced echelon basis, use the function q_expansion_basis instead.

More precisely, this function returns the $$q$$-expansions obtained by taking the $$ij$$ entry of the matrices of the Hecke operators $$T_n$$ acting on the subspace of the linear dual of modular symbols corresponding to self.

EXAMPLES:

sage: S = ModularSymbols(11,2, sign=1).cuspidal_submodule()
sage: f = S.q_expansion_cuspforms(8)
sage: f(0,0)
q - 2*q^2 - q^3 + 2*q^4 + q^5 + 2*q^6 - 2*q^7 + O(q^8)

sage: S = ModularSymbols(37,2).cuspidal_submodule()

q_expansion_module(prec=None, R=None)

Return a basis over R for the space spanned by the coefficient vectors of the $$q$$-expansions corresponding to self. If R is not the base ring of self, returns the restriction of scalars down to R (for this, self must have base ring $$\QQ$$ or a number field).

INPUT:

• self - must be cuspidal
• prec - an integer (default: self.default_prec())
• R - either ZZ, QQ, or the base_ring of self (which is the default)

OUTPUT: A free module over R.

TODO - extend to more general R (though that is fairly easy for the user to get by just doing base_extend or change_ring on the output of this function).

Note that the prec needed to distinguish elements of the restricted-down-to-R basis may be bigger than self.hecke_bound(), since one must use the Sturm bound for modular forms on $$\Gamma_H(N)$$.

rational_period_mapping()

Return the rational period mapping associated to self.

This is a homomorphism to a vector space whose kernel is the same as the kernel of the period mapping associated to self. For this to exist, self must be Hecke equivariant.

Base class for representing a period mapping attached to a space of modular symbols. To be used via the derived classes RationalPeriodMapping and IntegralPeriodMapping.

codomain()

Return the codomain of this mapping.

EXAMPLE:

Note that this presently returns the wrong answer, as a consequence of various bugs in the free module routines:

sage: ModularSymbols(11, 2).cuspidal_submodule().integral_period_mapping().codomain()
Vector space of degree 2 and dimension 2 over Rational Field
Basis matrix:
[1 0]
[0 1]

domain()

Return the domain of this mapping (which is the ambient space of the corresponding modular symbols space).

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularSymbols(17, 2).cuspidal_submodule().integral_period_mapping().domain()
Modular Symbols space of dimension 3 for Gamma_0(17) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field

matrix()

Return the matrix of this period mapping.

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularSymbols(11, 2).cuspidal_submodule().integral_period_mapping().matrix()
[  0 1/5]
[  1   0]
[  0   1]

modular_symbols_space()

Return the space of modular symbols to which this period mapping corresponds.

EXAMPLES:

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

class sage.modular.modsym.space.RationalPeriodMapping(modsym, A)

Standard initialisation function.

INPUT:

• modsym - a space of modular symbols
• A - matrix of the associated period map

EXAMPLE:

sage: ModularSymbols(2, 8).cuspidal_submodule().integral_period_mapping() # indirect doctest
Integral period mapping associated to Modular Symbols subspace of dimension 2 of Modular Symbols space of dimension 4 for Gamma_0(2) of weight 8 with sign 0 over Rational Field

sage.modular.modsym.space.is_ModularSymbolsSpace(x)

Return True if x is a space of modular symbols.

EXAMPLES:

sage: M = ModularForms(3, 2)
sage: sage.modular.modsym.space.is_ModularSymbolsSpace(M)
False
sage: sage.modular.modsym.space.is_ModularSymbolsSpace(M.modular_symbols(sign=1))
True
