The Atkin–Lehner operators on level-raises #
Let Q ∥ N be an exact divisor and W_Q an Atkin–Lehner matrix of level N for Q. Writing
N = Q * R with Q and R coprime, a level-raise V_d from a divisor level M splits into its
Q-part and its R-part, and so does M. Concretely, suppose
Q = d₁ * e₁ * Q₁, R = d₂ * e₂ * M', M = Q₁ * M', d = d₁ * d₂,
and put e = e₁ * d₂. Then W_Q moves past diag(d, 1) at the cost of exchanging the Q-part
d₁ of d for the complementary factor e₁, while the R-part d₂ passes through unchanged:
diag(d, 1) · W_Q = d₁ · (W_{Q₁} · diag(e, 1)),
where W_{Q₁} is an Atkin–Lehner matrix of the lower level M for the exact divisor
Q₁ ∥ M. Since the scalar matrix d₁ · I slashes as multiplication by d₁ ^ (k - 2), on a
form f on Γ₀(M) this reads
W_Q (V_d f) = d₁⁻¹ · e₁ ^ (k - 1) · V_e (W_{Q₁} f).
At Q = N this is the Fricke identity of
TauCeti/NumberTheory/ModularForms/Fricke/OldSpace.lean, and at Q = 1 it is the statement
that V_d commutes with the identity.

Moving an Atkin–Lehner matrix past a level-raise #
An Atkin–Lehner matrix moves past diag(d, 1). Let Q = d₁ * e₁ * Q₁ be a divisor of
N = Q * (d₂ * e₂ * M'). For an Atkin–Lehner matrix W of level N for Q there is an
Atkin–Lehner matrix W' of level Q₁ * M' for Q₁ with
diag(d₁ * d₂, 1) · W = d₁ · (W' · diag(e₁ * d₂, 1)).
The Atkin–Lehner operator on a level-raise #
The Atkin–Lehner operator intertwines the level-raises on modular forms. Let
Q = d₁ * e₁ * Q₁ be an exact divisor of N = Q * (d₂ * e₂ * M'), and Q₁ an exact divisor of
M = Q₁ * M'. For a modular form f on Γ₀(M) and d = d₁ * d₂, e = e₁ * d₂,
W_Q (V_d f) = d₁⁻¹ · e₁ ^ (k - 1) · V_e (W_{Q₁} f), where W_Q and W_{Q₁} are the Atkin–Lehner
operators of levels N and M. (The exactness h₁ of Q₁ follows from the other hypotheses;
it is taken as an argument because it names the operator W_{Q₁}.)
The Atkin–Lehner operator intertwines the level-raises on cusp forms: under the
factorizations of atkinLehnerOperator_levelRaise,
W_Q (V_d f) = d₁⁻¹ · e₁ ^ (k - 1) · V_e (W_{Q₁} f) for a cusp form f on Γ₀(M).
The normalized Atkin–Lehner operator intertwines the level-raises on modular forms:
under the factorizations of atkinLehnerOperator_levelRaise,
𝒲_Q (V_d f) = (√(d₁ e₁)) ^ (2 - k) · d₁⁻¹ · e₁ ^ (k - 1) · V_e (𝒲_{Q₁} f).
