Element class for Pollack-Stevens’ Modular Symbols

This is the class of elements in the spaces of Pollack-Steven’s modular symbols as described in [PS2011].

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: phi = E.pollack_stevens_modular_symbol(); phi
Modular symbol of level 11 with values in Sym^0 Q^2

0
sage: phi.values()
[-1/5, 1, 0]
sage: phi.is_ordinary(11)
True
sage: phi_lift = phi.lift(11, 5, eigensymbol = True) # long time

[-1/5, 1, 0]
sage: phi_ord = phi.p_stabilize(p = 3, ap = E.ap(3), M = 10, ordinary = True)

hecke(ell, algorithm='prep')

Return self | \(T_{\ell}\) by making use of the precomputations in self.prep_hecke()

INPUT:

• ell – a prime
• algorithm – a string, either ‘prep’ (default) or ‘naive’

OUTPUT:

• The image of this element under the Hecke operator \(T_{\ell}\)

ALGORITHMS:

• If algorithm == 'prep', precomputes a list of matrices that only depend on the level, then uses them to speed up the action.
• If algorithm == 'naive', just acts by the matrices defining the Hecke operator. That is, it computes sum_a self | [1,a,0,ell] + self | [ell,0,0,1], the last term occurring only if the level is prime to ell.

EXAMPLES:

Return true if the \(p\)-th eigenvalue is a \(p\)-adic unit.

INPUT:

class sage.modular.pollack_stevens.modsym.PSModularSymbolElement_symk(map_data, parent, construct=False)

completions(p, M)

If \(K\) is the base_ring of self, this function takes all maps \(K\to \QQ_p\) and applies them to self return a list of (modular symbol,map: \(K\to \QQ_p\)) as map varies over all such maps.

Note

This only returns all completions when \(p\) splits completely in \(K\)

INPUT:

• p – prime
• M – precision

OUTPUT:

• A list of tuples (modular symbol,map: \(K\to \QQ_p\)) as map varies over all such maps

EXAMPLES:

sage: from sage.modular.pollack_stevens.space import ps_modsym_from_simple_modsym_space
sage: D = ModularSymbols(67,2,1).cuspidal_submodule().new_subspace().decomposition()[1]
sage: f = ps_modsym_from_simple_modsym_space(D)
sage: S = f.completions(41,10); S

  Defn: alpha |--> 33 + 18*41 + 21*41^2 + 30*41^3 + 12*41^4 + 18*41^5 + 31*41^6 + 15*41^7 + 32*41^9 + O(41^10))]
sage: TestSuite(S[0][0]).run(skip=['_test_category'])

lift(p=None, M=None, alpha=None, new_base_ring=None, algorithm=None, eigensymbol=False, check=True)

Return a (\(p\)-adic) overconvergent modular symbol with \(M\) moments which lifts self up to an Eisenstein error

Here the Eisenstein error is a symbol whose system of Hecke eigenvalues equals \(\ell+1\) for \(T_\ell\) when \(\ell\) does not divide \(Np\) and 1 for \(U_q\) when \(q\) divides \(Np\).

INPUT:

• p – prime
• M – integer equal to the number of moments
• alpha – \(U_p\) eigenvalue
• new_base_ring – change of base ring
• algorithm – ‘stevens’ or ‘greenberg’ (default ‘stevens’)
• eigensymbol – if True, lifts to Hecke eigensymbol (self must be a \(p\)-ordinary eigensymbol)

(Note: eigensymbol = True does not just indicate to the code that self is an eigensymbol; it solves a wholly different problem, lifting an eigensymbol to an eigensymbol.)

OUTPUT:

An overconvergent modular symbol whose specialization equals self, up to some Eisenstein error if eigensymbol is False. If eigensymbol = True then the output will be an overconvergent Hecke eigensymbol (and it will lift the input exactly, the Eisenstein error disappears).

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: f = E.pollack_stevens_modular_symbol()
sage: g = f.lift(11,4,algorithm='stevens',eigensymbol=True)
sage: g.is_Tq_eigensymbol(2)
True
sage: g.Tq_eigenvalue(3)
10 + 10*11 + 10*11^2 + 10*11^3 + O(11^4)
sage: g.Tq_eigenvalue(11)
1 + O(11^4)

We check that lifting and then specializing gives back the original symbol:

sage: g.specialize() == f
True

Another example, which showed precision loss in an earlier version of the code:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: p = 5
sage: prec = 4
sage: phi = E.pollack_stevens_modular_symbol()
sage: Phi = phi.p_stabilize_and_lift(p,prec, algorithm='stevens', eigensymbol=True) # long time
sage: Phi.Tq_eigenvalue(5,M = 4) # long time
3 + 2*5 + 4*5^2 + 2*5^3 + O(5^4)

Another example:

sage: from sage.modular.pollack_stevens.padic_lseries import pAdicLseries
sage: E = EllipticCurve('37a')
sage: p = 5
sage: prec = 6
sage: phi = E.pollack_stevens_modular_symbol()
sage: Phi = phi.p_stabilize_and_lift(p=p,M=prec,alpha=None,algorithm='stevens',eigensymbol=True) #long time
sage: L = pAdicLseries(Phi)          # long time
sage: L.symbol() is Phi              # long time
True

Examples using Greenberg’s algorithm:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: phi = E.pollack_stevens_modular_symbol()
sage: Phi = phi.lift(11,8,algorithm='greenberg',eigensymbol=True)
sage: Phi2 = phi.lift(11,8,algorithm='stevens',eigensymbol=True)
sage: Phi == Phi2
True

An example in higher weight:

sage: from sage.modular.pollack_stevens.space import ps_modsym_from_simple_modsym_space
sage: f = ps_modsym_from_simple_modsym_space(Newforms(7, 4)[0].modular_symbols(1))
sage: fs = f.p_stabilize(5)
sage: FsG = fs.lift(M=6, eigensymbol=True,algorithm='greenberg') # long time
sage: FsG.values()[0]                                            # long time
5^-1 * (2*5 + 5^2 + 3*5^3 + 4*5^4 + O(5^7), O(5^6), 2*5^2 + 3*5^3 + O(5^5), O(5^4), 5^2 + O(5^3), O(5^2))
sage: FsS = fs.lift(M=6, eigensymbol=True,algorithm='stevens')   # long time
sage: FsS == FsG                                                 # long time
True

p_stabilize(p=None, M=20, alpha=None, ap=None, new_base_ring=None, ordinary=True, check=True)

Return the \(p\)-stabilization of self to level \(N p\) on which \(U_p\) acts by \(\alpha\).

Note that since \(\alpha\) is \(p\)-adic, the resulting symbol is just an approximation to the true \(p\)-stabilization (depending on how well \(\alpha\) is approximated).

INPUT:

• p – prime not dividing the level of self
• M – (default: 20) precision of \(\QQ_p\)
• alpha – \(U_p\) eigenvalue
• ap – Hecke eigenvalue
• new_base_ring – change of base ring

• ordinary – (default: True) whether to return the ordinary

  (at p) eigensymbol.

• check – (default: True) whether to perform extra sanity checks

OUTPUT:

A modular symbol with the same Hecke eigenvalues as self away from \(p\) and eigenvalue \(\alpha\) at \(p\). The eigenvalue \(\alpha\) depends on the parameter ordinary.

If ordinary == True: the unique modular symbol of level \(N p\) with the same Hecke eigenvalues as self away from \(p\) and unit eigenvalue at \(p\); else the unique modular symbol of level \(N p\) with the same Hecke eigenvalues as self away from \(p\) and non-unit eigenvalue at \(p\).

EXAMPLES:

sage: E = EllipticCurve('11a')
sage: p = 5
sage: prec = 4
sage: phi = E.pollack_stevens_modular_symbol()
sage: phis = phi.p_stabilize(p,M = prec)
sage: phis
Modular symbol of level 55 with values in Sym^0 Q_5^2
sage: phis.hecke(7) == phis*E.ap(7)
True
sage: phis.hecke(5) == phis*E.ap(5)
False
sage: phis.hecke(3) == phis*E.ap(3)
True
sage: phis.Tq_eigenvalue(5)
1 + 4*5 + 3*5^2 + 2*5^3 + O(5^4)
sage: phis.Tq_eigenvalue(5,M = 3)
1 + 4*5 + 3*5^2 + O(5^3)

sage: phis = phi.p_stabilize(p,M = prec,ordinary=False)
sage: phis.Tq_eigenvalue(5)
5 + 5^2 + 2*5^3 + O(5^5)

A complicated example (with nontrivial character):

sage: chi = DirichletGroup(24)([-1, -1, -1])
sage: f = Newforms(chi,names='a')[0]
sage: from sage.modular.pollack_stevens.space import ps_modsym_from_simple_modsym_space
sage: phi = ps_modsym_from_simple_modsym_space(f.modular_symbols(1))
sage: phi11, h11 = phi.completions(11,20)[0]
sage: phi11s = phi11.p_stabilize()
sage: phi11s.is_Tq_eigensymbol(11) # long time
True

p_stabilize_and_lift(p, M, alpha=None, ap=None, new_base_ring=None, ordinary=True, algorithm='greenberg', eigensymbol=False, check=True)

\(p\)-stabilize and lift self

INPUT:

• p – prime, not dividing the level of self
• M – precision
• alpha – (default: None) the \(U_p\) eigenvalue, if known
• ap – (default: None) the Hecke eigenvalue at p (before stabilizing), if known
• new_base_ring – (default: None) if specified, force the resulting eigensymbol to take values in the given ring

• ordinary – (default: True) whether to return the ordinary

  (at p) eigensymbol.

• algorithm – (default: ‘greenberg’) a string, either ‘greenberg’ or ‘stevens’, specifying whether to use the lifting algorithm of M.Greenberg or that of Pollack–Stevens. The latter one solves the difference equation, which is not needed. The option to use Pollack–Stevens’ algorithm here is just for historical reasons.
• eigensymbol – (default: False) if True, return an overconvergent eigensymbol. Otherwise just perform a naive lift
• check – (default: True) whether to perform extra sanity checks

OUTPUT:

\(p\)-stabilized and lifted version of self.
