The slash sum of a Γ₁-invariant function is Γ₂-invariant #
heckeSlashSum is a sum over chosen coset representatives, and HeckeSlash/Basic.lean records
that on a general f : ℍ → ℂ the value depends on those choices. This file proves the theorem
that repairs it: if f is invariant under the weight-k slash action of Γ₁, then
heckeSlashSum k D f is invariant under that of Γ₂.
That is the content of Shimura's Proposition 3.37 — right multiplication by γ ∈ Γ₂ merely
permutes the right cosets Γ₁ aᵥ of the decomposition, so the sum is unchanged. Concretely
aᵥ γ = δ τᵥ⁻¹ γ = δ (γ⁻¹ τᵥ)⁻¹, so the permutation is v ↦ γ⁻¹ • v for the action of Γ₂ on
Γ₂ ⧸ (Γ₂ ∩ δ⁻¹Γ₁δ) — MulAction.toPerm at γ⁻¹ — and the per-summand step is
slash_rightCosetRep_of_mem_right from HeckeSlash/Reindex.lean.
⚠ The two groups are different: the hypothesis is invariance under Γ₁ and the conclusion is
invariance under Γ₂. They agree on a diagonal triple HeckeCoset Δ Γ Γ, which is where the
Hecke operators of Layer 2(b) live, but nothing here needs them to.

Provenance #
The statement corresponds to heckeSlash_slash_invariant in the AINTLIB LeanModularForms
project (LeanModularForms/HeckeRIngs/GL2/HeckeAction.lean,
commit 2baa76f742bdb4fb8ee323fabba41203bd390e08, Apache-2.0, Chris Birkbeck), lines 198–246,
together with its helper tRep_mul_eq_transpose. No code is transcribed: that proof permutes a
left-coset index by transposing, so it holds only where every group in sight is transpose-stable
— level one — while the argument below is Shimura's own and quantifies over γ ∈ Γ₂ at an
arbitrary triple. As in Reindex.lean, invariance is carried under the rational slash action
rather than routed through a real subgroup, so AINTLIB's mem_SL_exists_H bridge is not needed.

The slash sum of a Γ₁-invariant function is Γ₂-invariant. For f invariant under the
weight-k slash action of Γ₁ and γ ∈ Γ₂,
heckeSlashSum k D f ∣[k] γ = heckeSlashSum k D f.
The proof is Shimura's — right multiplication by γ permutes the summands — and the permutation
is MulAction.toPerm applied to γ⁻¹, acting on the right-coset index Γ₂ ⧸ (Γ₂ ∩ δ⁻¹Γ₁δ).
⚠ This proves invariance of the sum formed from the representatives D.out and v.out that
heckeSlashSum fixes. That sums formed from different choices of representatives agree is a
separate theorem, heckeSlashSum_eq_sum_of_rightCosets in HeckeSlash/Independence.lean.
