Modular Group SL(2,Z) of weight 12 over Rational Field

class sage.modular.modform.cuspidal_submodule.CuspidalSubmodule(ambient_space)

Bases: ModularFormsSubmodule

Base class for cuspidal submodules of ambient spaces of modular forms.

change_ring(R)

Change the base ring of self to R, when this makes sense. This differs from base_extend() in that there may not be a canonical map from self to the new space, as in the first example below. If this space has a character then this may fail when the character cannot be defined over R, as in the second example.

EXAMPLES:

sage: chi = DirichletGroup(109, CyclotomicField(3)).0
sage: S9 = CuspForms(chi, 2, base_ring = CyclotomicField(9)); S9
Cuspidal subspace of dimension 8 of Modular Forms space of dimension 10, character [zeta3 + 1] and weight 2 over Cyclotomic Field of order 9 and degree 6
sage: S9.change_ring(CyclotomicField(3))
Cuspidal subspace of dimension 8 of Modular Forms space of dimension 10, character [zeta3 + 1] and weight 2 over Cyclotomic Field of order 3 and degree 2
sage: S9.change_ring(QQ)
Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: Space cannot be defined over Rational Field

hecke_polynomial(n, var='x')

Return the characteristic polynomial of the Hecke operator T_n on this space. This is computed via modular symbols, and in particular is faster to compute than the matrix itself.

EXAMPLES:

sage: CuspForms(105, 2).hecke_polynomial(2, 'y')
y^13 + 5*y^12 - 4*y^11 - 52*y^10 - 34*y^9 + 174*y^8 + 212*y^7 - 196*y^6 - 375*y^5 - 11*y^4 + 200*y^3 + 80*y^2

Check that this gives the same answer as computing the Hecke matrix:

sage: CuspForms(105, 2).hecke_matrix(2).charpoly(var='y')
y^13 + 5*y^12 - 4*y^11 - 52*y^10 - 34*y^9 + 174*y^8 + 212*y^7 - 196*y^6 - 375*y^5 - 11*y^4 + 200*y^3 + 80*y^2

Check that trac ticket #21546 is fixed (this example used to take about 5 hours):

sage: CuspForms(1728, 2).hecke_polynomial(2) # long time (20 sec)
