The element Tₙ^∞ of the group ring ℛₙ #
Popa and Zagier write Tₙ^∞ for the formal sum of the upper-triangular representatives
ℳₙ^∞ = TauCeti.TraceFormulaMatrixModule.upperTriangularReps n of Γ \ ℳₙ, an element of the
group ring ℛₙ = ℚ[ℳₙ]. This file defines it, over an arbitrary coefficient semiring k, as the
element TauCeti.TraceFormulaMatrixModule.upperTriangularSum k n of k[ℳₙ].
Since ℳₙ^∞ is a set of orbit representatives for n ≠ 0, every SL(2, ℤ)-orbit sum of the
coefficients of Tₙ^∞ equals 1. Right multiplication by g ∈ PSL(2, ℤ) commutes with the left
action, so it permutes the SL(2, ℤ)-orbits, and the orbit sums of the right translate Tₙ^∞ · g
are those of Tₙ^∞ permuted; so they equal 1 too. Hence Tₙ^∞ (1 - g) lies in the
coinvariant kernel of the left action, which is the input for the existence of a solution of
Popa–Zagier's period relation (A). For g = T ^ j more is true: right multiplication by T ^ j
keeps matrices upper-triangular, so it permutes the ⟨T⟩-orbits that meet ℳₙ^∞. Hence
Tₙ^∞ · T ^ j and Tₙ^∞ have the same ⟨T⟩-orbit sums, and Tₙ^∞ (1 - T ^ j) lies in
(1 - T)·k[ℳₙ].

For j ∈ ℤ, the ⟨T⟩-orbit sums of the coefficients of the right translate Tₙ^∞ · T ^ j are

Tₙ^∞ (1 - T ^ j) of k[ℳₙ] lies in (1 - T)·k[ℳₙ], the range of left multiplication by
