Dimensions of spaces of modular forms¶

AUTHORS:

William Stein
Jordi Quer

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: The dimension formulas and implementations in this module grew out of a program that Bruce Kaskel wrote (around 1996) in PARI, which Kevin Buzzard subsequently extended. I (William Stein) then implemented it in C++ for Hecke. I also implemented it in Magma. Also, the functions for dimensions of spaces with nontrivial character are based on a paper (that has no proofs) by Cohen and Oesterlé [CO1977]. The formulas for $\Gamma_H(N)$ were found and implemented by Jordi Quer.

The formulas here are more complete than in Hecke or Magma.

Currently the input to each function below is an integer and either a Dirichlet character $\varepsilon$ or a finite index subgroup of ${\rm SL}_2(\ZZ)$ . If the input is a Dirichlet character $\varepsilon$ , the dimensions are for subspaces of $M_k(\Gamma_1(N), \varepsilon)$ , where $N$ is the modulus of $\varepsilon$ .

These functions mostly call the methods dimension_cusp_forms, dimension_modular_forms and so on of the corresponding congruence subgroup classes.
