Constant terms of Eisenstein series at the cusps #
For a weight W : (Fin 2 → ZMod N) → ℂ and k ≥ 3, the weighted Eisenstein series
G_W(z) = ∑_{x ∈ ℤ²} W(x mod N) (x₀ z + x₁)^(-k) tends at i∞ to the sum of its row x₀ = 0,
∑_{n ∈ ℤ} W(0, n) n^(-k): every other summand decays like (Im z)^(-k), and the series is
dominated uniformly on the imaginary axis. Since slashing by γ ∈ SL₂(ℤ) changes W to
a ↦ W(a γ⁻¹), the constant term of G_W at the cusp γ ∞ = a / c is the sum over the
multiples of the row (-c, a) of γ⁻¹:
∑_{n ∈ ℤ} W(-n c, n a) n^(-k).
For the Eisenstein series with character G_k^{ψ,φ}, with ψ modulo u and φ modulo v,
this sum factors: the constant term at a / c vanishes unless v ∣ c, and then equals
ψ(-c / v) φ⁻¹(a) ∑_{n ∈ ℤ} ψ(n) φ⁻¹(n) n^(-k). These are the constant-term vectors whose span
is compared with the image of the constant-term map on M_k(N, χ) in the cusp–Eisenstein
decomposition M_k(N, χ) = S_k(N, χ) ⊕ E_k(N, χ).

On the imaginary axis, a summand (x₀ z + x₁)^(-k) with x₀ ≠ 0 tends to 0, and a
summand with x₀ = 0 is the constant x₁^(-k).
The limit at i∞ of a weighted Eisenstein series: for k ≥ 3, the series
∑_{x ∈ ℤ²} W(x) (x₀ z + x₁)^(-k) tends to ∑_{n ∈ ℤ} W(0, n) n^(-k).
The value at i∞ of a translated weighted Eisenstein series. For
γ = !![a, b; c, d] ∈ SL₂(ℤ), the value at i∞ of G_W ∣[k] γ is
∑_{n ∈ ℤ} W(-n c, n a) n^(-k): only the multiples of the row (-c, a) of γ⁻¹ contribute,
the pairs whose linear form vanishes at the cusp a / c.
The constant term of a weighted Eisenstein series at every cusp. At the cusp
represented by γ = !![a, b; c, d] ∈ SL₂(ℤ), the constant term of G_W is
∑_{n ∈ ℤ} W(-n c, n a) n^(-k).
The constant term of the Eisenstein series with character at every cusp. For ψ
modulo u, φ modulo v with u v ∣ N, and γ = !![a, b; c, d] ∈ SL₂(ℤ), the constant term
of G_k^{ψ,φ} at the cusp a / c is
ψ(-c / v) φ⁻¹(a) ∑_{n ∈ ℤ} ψ(n) φ⁻¹(n) n^(-k) if v ∣ c, and 0 otherwise.
The constant term of a raised character Eisenstein series at every cusp. At the cusp
a/c, put g = gcd(c,t). The constant term of G_k^{ψ,φ}(tz) is (g/t)^k times
ψ(-c/(gv)) φ⁻¹(ta/g) ∑ₙ ψ(n) φ⁻¹(n) n^(-k) when v ∣ c/g, and is zero otherwise.
No primitivity or parity hypothesis is needed. The integer divisions are exact in the
nonvanishing branch.
