Analytic rank and conductor of a newform #
For a positive-weight newform, its coefficient Dirichlet series has the entire continuation
ModularForm.L. This file defines the analytic rank to be the order of vanishing of that
continuation at the central point k / 2. The continuation is not identically zero, because
its Dirichlet coefficients have first coefficient one. Consequently the order is finite and
is faithfully represented by a natural number.
The analytic conductor is stated in the arithmetic s-coordinate. If
s_an = s - (k - 1) / 2 is the analytic normalization, its two archimedean parameters are
s_an + (k - 1) / 2 and s_an + (k + 1) / 2. Thus
q(f, s) = N (|s_an + (k - 1) / 2| + 3) (|s_an + (k + 1) / 2| + 3).
The constant 3 and this normalization follow Iwaniec--Kowalski, §5.1 and (5.7).

The analytic rank of a positive-weight newform is the order of vanishing of its entire
L-function at the central point s = k / 2.

Instances For
Any entire continuation agreeing with the coefficient Dirichlet series on the known convergence half-plane computes the analytic rank. In particular, the definition is independent of the chosen construction of analytic continuation.
