The q-expansion of a rational diagonal slash #
The coprime-prime Hecke operator has, besides its upper-triangular sum, a term obtained by
slashing by the rational matrix diag(d, 1). The same real matrix already defines the
level-raising degeneracy map V_d; this file identifies the two constructions and transfers the
existing q ↦ q ^ d formula for V_d to the rational slash action.
With the arithmetic normalization of the slash action, the unnormalised diagonal term is
f ∣[k] diag(d, 1) = d ^ (k - 1) V_d f.
Consequently its n-th Fourier coefficient is d ^ (k - 1) a_(n / d) when d ∣ n, and zero
otherwise. This is the second term in the roadmap's recurrence
a_n(T_p f) = a_(p n)(f) + χ(p) p ^ (k - 1) a_(n / p)(f); the factor χ(p) comes separately
from the diamond operator and is not part of the diagonal slash.
Main results #
TauCeti.map_natDiagGL_d_one_eq_scaleGL: the rational diagonal representative maps to the real scaling matrix used byV_d.TauCeti.slash_natDiagGL_d_one_eq_smul_levelRaise: the rational diagonal slash isd ^ (k - 1)times the degeneracy map.ModularForm.qExpansion_slash_natDiagGL_d_one: the resulting power-series identity.- The corresponding
_coefflemmas give the divisibility-conditional coefficient formula.
Provenance #
The pointwise prime case corresponds to the private theorem slash_T_p_lower_eval in the
AINTLIB LeanModularForms project
(LeanModularForms/Modularforms/QExpansionSlash.lean,
commit 112d12d95, Apache-2.0, LeanModularForms contributors). No code is transcribed: the
result here is stated for every positive d and proved by identifying the rational matrix with
Tau Ceti's existing scaleGL, after which the degeneracy-map and q-expansion APIs supply the
formula without repeating AINTLIB's direct analytic argument.
References #
The positive rational diagonal matrix diag(d, 1) maps to the real scaling matrix used to
define the degeneracy operator V_d.
Slashing by the rational matrix diag(d, 1) is the same as slashing by scaleGL d, its
real image. In particular it rescales the argument by d and contributes the arithmetic
normalizing factor d ^ (k - 1).
The rational diagonal slash is a scaled degeneracy map. The target group hypothesis is
exactly the one needed to package τ ↦ f (dτ) as V_d f; the equality itself is pointwise and
contains no group-theoretic argument.
The q-expansion of the rational diagonal slash. Slashing by diag(d, 1) multiplies
the level-raised expansion by d ^ (k - 1), so the result is
d ^ (k - 1) • (qExpansion f).expand d.
The coefficient form of qExpansion_slash_natDiagGL_d_one: the diagonal term contributes
d ^ (k - 1) a_(n / d) on indices divisible by d, and zero elsewhere.
The diagonal-slash coefficient formula at Γ₁. The source form has level M, while
Gamma1_map_le_conjAct_scaleGL packages its scaled translate at level dM; this specialization
is the form needed by the coprime Hecke recurrence.
