The Eisenstein series with character span the Eisenstein space #
In weight k ≥ 3, the normalized raised Eisenstein series E_k^(ψ, φ, t), indexed by
TauCeti.EisensteinSeries.CharIndex N k, span the Eisenstein subspace
TauCeti.EisensteinSeries.congruenceEisensteinSubspace of M_k(Γ₁(N)), the complement of the
cusp forms (Diamond–Shurman, Theorem 4.5.2). Together with their linear independence they form a
basis of it. At a level N ∉ {1, 2, 4} there are as many of them as there are cusps, so that
dim M_k(Γ₁(N)) = dim S_k(Γ₁(N)) + ε∞(Γ₁(N)),
where ε∞(Γ₁(N)) is the number of cusps of Γ₁(N). Restricted to a nebentypus χ, the
series of nebentypus χ span the Eisenstein part of M_k(N, χ): the span
TauCeti.eisensteinSubspace χ is exactly the intersection of M_k(N, χ) with the Eisenstein
subspace, and so is complementary to the image of S_k(N, χ).
The proof compares dimensions. The series lie in the Eisenstein subspace and are linearly
independent. Conversely the Eisenstein subspace meets the cusp forms trivially, so the constant
terms embed it into the functions on the cusps
(TauCeti.ModularForm.finrank_le_card_cuspOrbit_of_disjoint), and at N ∉ {1, 2, 4} the series
are as many as the cusps (TauCeti.EisensteinSeries.CharIndex.card_eq_card_cuspOrbit_Gamma1).
At the levels 1, 2 and 4 the constant terms are read at explicit cusp representatives
instead (TauCeti.ModularForm.finrank_le_natCard_of_disjoint). In odd weight every form vanishes
when N ∣ 2, since then -1 ∈ Γ₁(N), and the irregular cusp 1/2 of Γ₁(4) carries no constant
term. The remaining representatives are as many as the series
(TauCeti.EisensteinSeries.CharIndex.card_one, card_two, card_four). For a fixed nebentypus,
a form of nebentypus χ in the span of all the series lies in the span of those of nebentypus
χ, because the character spaces M_k(N, ψ) are independent.

The Eisenstein series with character span the Eisenstein space (Diamond–Shurman,
Theorem 4.5.2): in weight k ≥ 3, the normalized raised series E_k^(ψ, φ, t) span the
Eisenstein subspace of M_k(Γ₁(N)), the complement of the cusp forms.
In weight k ≥ 3, the Eisenstein subspace of M_k(Γ₁(N)) has dimension the number of
Eisenstein indices.
The Eisenstein part of the dimension of M_k(Γ₁(N)): in weight k ≥ 3 and at a level
N ∉ {1, 2, 4}, the modular forms on Γ₁(N) have dimension ε∞(Γ₁(N)) more than the cusp
forms, where ε∞(Γ₁(N)) is the number of cusps of Γ₁(N).
The Eisenstein series of nebentypus χ span the Eisenstein part of M_k(N, χ): in
weight k ≥ 3, a form of nebentypus χ lies in the Eisenstein subspace of M_k(Γ₁(N)) exactly
when it is a linear combination of the series E_k^(ψ, φ, t) whose induced nebentypus is χ.
