Abstract
We apply the methods of Fukaya, Kato and Sharifi to refine Mazur's study of the Eisenstein ideal. Given prime numbers and such that , we study the quotient of the cohomology group of modular curve by the square of the Eisenstein ideal. We study two invariants attached to this quotient and compute . We propose a conjecture about the invariant which relates the structure of the ray class group of conductor to the modular symbols of . Assuming this conjecture, We compute the invariant .
