The cusps of Γ₀(N) #
The number of cusps of Γ₀(N) is ε∞ = ∑_{g ∣ N} φ(gcd(g, N / g)), the cusp count in the
dimension formulas for Γ₀(N). Cusps are counted as the cusp orbits of the effective image of
Γ₀(N) in PSL(2, ℝ), the boundary orbits adjoined to its analytic quotient.
Every cusp is γ • ∞ for some γ ∈ SL(2, ℤ). For γ and γ' with bottom rows (c, d) and
(c', d'), the cusps γ • ∞ and γ' • ∞ are Γ₀(N)-equivalent exactly when
N ∣ c d' - c' d + j c c' for some integer j. This congruence is detected by the label of
γ: the divisor g = gcd(c, N) of N, together with the residue of (c / g) / d modulo
gcd(g, N / g), which is a unit. Every divisor and every unit residue occur, so the cusps of
Γ₀(N) are in bijection with the pairs (g, x) with g ∣ N and
x ∈ (ℤ / gcd(g, N / g))ˣ.

Equivalence of cusps #
The criterion for equivalence of cusps of Γ₀(N). For γ and γ' with bottom rows
(c, d) and (c', d'), the cusps γ • ∞ and γ' • ∞ are Γ₀(N)-equivalent exactly when
N ∣ c d' - c' d + j c c' for some integer j.
Labels of cusps #
The label of the cusp γ • ∞ of Γ₀(N). For γ ∈ SL(2, ℤ) with bottom row (c, d),
it is the divisor g = gcd(c, N) of N together with the unit (c / g) / d modulo
gcd(g, N / g). Matrices representing the same cusp have the same label
(gamma0CuspLabel_eq_iff), and gamma0CuspOrbitEquiv is the resulting bijection.
Instances For
The divisor in the label of γ is gcd(c, N), for c the lower-left entry of γ.
The residue in the label of γ is (c / g) / d, for (c, d) the bottom row of γ and
g = gcd(c, N): its product with d is c / g.
Two matrices have the same label exactly when their bottom rows (c, d) and (c', d')
satisfy N ∣ c d' - c' d + j c c' for some integer j.
At squarefree level, two cusp labels agree exactly when their denominator gcds agree.
Every divisor g of N and every unit modulo gcd(g, N / g) is a label: that of a matrix
with bottom row (g, d).
Two matrices have the same label exactly when they represent the same cusp of Γ₀(N).
The cusps of Γ₀(N) are in bijection with the pairs (g, x) of a divisor g of N
and a unit x modulo gcd(g, N / g). The cusp γ • ∞ corresponds to the label of γ
(gamma0CuspOrbitEquiv_cuspOrbitOfSL2Z).
Instances For
The cusp γ • ∞ of Γ₀(N) corresponds to the label of γ.
The cusp with the label of γ is γ • ∞.
The cusp count ε∞ of Γ₀(N): the number of cusps of Γ₀(N) is
∑_{g ∣ N} φ(gcd(g, N / g)).
Γ₀(p) has two cusps for a prime p.
