The descent of a level-raise #
For a prime p ∣ N and g slash-invariant of level Γ₁(N / p), every member of the descent
family descendMatrix p N slashes the level-raise V_p g = p^(1-k) • (g ∣[k] scaleGL p) (a form
of level Γ₁(N)) back to p⁻¹ • g: the upper-triangular members !![1, b; 0, p] because
(V_p g) ((τ + b) / p) = g (τ + b) = g τ (smul_slash_scaleGL_slash_upperTriRep), and the extra
member because its Γ₀(N / p) factor lies in Γ(N / p). So the descent slash sum of V_p g is
the scalar multiple (|family| / p) • g, with |family| = p when p² ∣ N and p + 1
otherwise. This is the computation behind the coefficient formula of the descent in Miyake's
proof of Lemma 4.6.14.

Every member of the descent family slashes a level-raise back to the form. For p ∣ N
prime and g slash-invariant of level Γ₁(N / p), with V_p g = p^(1-k) • (g ∣[k] scaleGL p),
(V_p g) ∣[k] descendMatrix p N v = p⁻¹ • g for every v.
The descent of a level-raise is a multiple of the form. For p ∣ N prime and g
slash-invariant of level Γ₁(N / p), with V_p g = p^(1-k) • (g ∣[k] scaleGL p),
descendSlash k p N (V_p g) = (|family| / p) • g. This is the coefficient formula of the
descent on a level-raise, the input to Miyake's Lemma 4.6.14.
