Multiplicity one on the new part of S_k(N, χ) #
A cusp form in the new part of S_k(N, χ) that is an eigenvector of the Hecke ring at every
prime not dividing N is determined, up to a scalar, by those eigenvalues. Equivalently: each
simultaneous eigenspace of the good Hecke operators inside S_k(N, χ)ⁿᵉʷ is at most
one-dimensional, and is a line as soon as it is nonzero.
It rests on eq_zero_of_forall_prime_heckeRingHomCusp_of_one_eq_zero_of_mem_cuspFormsNew
(Newforms/EigenvectorVanishing.lean): such an eigenvector with a₁ = 0 is zero. Scaling each
of the two eigenvectors by the other's first coefficient and subtracting produces exactly such
an eigenvector.

Multiplicity one on the new part of S_k(N, χ) (Miyake, Theorem 4.6.13(1)): two cusp
forms in the new part that are eigenvectors of the Hecke ring at every prime not dividing N,
with the same eigenvalue at each such prime, are proportional: a₁(g) • f = a₁(f) • g. So each
simultaneous eigenspace of the good Hecke operators inside the new part is at most
one-dimensional.
Two good Hecke eigenvectors in the new part are proportional, in the form a consumer
wants: if f is nonzero, every g sharing its eigenvalues is a scalar multiple of it. So a
simultaneous eigenspace of the good Hecke operators inside the new part of S_k(N, χ) is
spanned by any one of its nonzero vectors, which is one-dimensionality in concrete form.
The nonvanishing hypothesis is only on f: the case a₁(f) = 0 is not an exception to be
excluded but is impossible once f ≠ 0, by
eq_zero_of_forall_prime_heckeRingHomCusp_of_one_eq_zero_of_mem_cuspFormsNew.
A commuting involution acts on a good Hecke eigenvector of the new part by a sign. Let
W be an endomorphism of S_k(N, χ) commuting with the good Hecke operators Tₚ, p ∤ N, and
carrying the new part into itself. A nonzero good Hecke eigenvector f in the new part on which
W squares to the identity, W (W f) = f, satisfies W f = ε • f with ε = 1 or ε = -1:
W f is a good eigenvector in the new part with the eigenvalues of f, hence a multiple ε • f
by multiplicity one, and W (W f) = f forces ε ^ 2 = 1.
Multiplicity one in dimensional form #
The simultaneous eigenspace of the good Hecke operators in the new part of S_k(N, χ),
for the eigenvalue system a: the forms of nebentypus χ lying in S_k(Γ₁(N))ⁿᵉʷ on which Tₙ
acts by the scalar a n hn, at every index n coprime to N.
The eigenvalue system is a dependent function of the good index and its coprimality proof, the
spelling EigenformAwayFromLevel.eigenvalue uses, so that every value of a is used. The index
runs over ℕ+, also as there: at N = 1 the natural number 0 is coprime to N, and T₀ is the
identity, so a ℕ-indexed system would impose a spurious constraint at that index.
