A Hecke algebra attached to mod 2 modular forms of level 3
Abstract
Let in be , and prime to . Let be spanned by the , and prime to . Then the formal Hecke operators , , stabilize , and it can be shown that they act locally nilpotently. We show that the completion of the Hecke algebra generated by these acting on , with respect to the maximal ideal generated by the , is a power series ring in and with an element of square adjoined. This may be viewed as a level 3 analog of the level 1 results of Nicolas and Serre -- the Hecke stable space they study is spanned by the odd powers of the mod reduction of , and their resulting completed Hecke algebra is a power series ring in and .

Revised to include a sketch of a new simpler proof of the results of Nicolas and Serre in level 1. A reference to a result from arXiv 1604.02622 that completes our proof has been added. Typos have been corrected. 20 pages
