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].

    The coefficients of Tₙ^∞ are the indicator function of ℳₙ^∞.

    Tₙ^∞ is the sum of the classes of the matrices (a b; 0 d) of FixedDetMatrices.reps n.

    The right translates of Tₙ^∞ have the same orbit sums. For g ∈ PSL(2, ℤ), the element Tₙ^∞ (1 - g) of k[ℳₙ] lies in the coinvariant kernel of the left action of SL(2, ℤ).

    The right translates of Tₙ^∞ by powers of T. For j ∈ ℤ, the element Tₙ^∞ (1 - T ^ j) of k[ℳₙ] lies in (1 - T)·k[ℳₙ], the range of left multiplication by 1 - T. Popa–Zagier state the case j = 1; their §3 uses j = ±1.
