Analytic evaluation of Hecke eigenvalues for classical modular forms

Number Theory 2019-10-03 v2

Abstract

We propose a method for computing approximations to the Hecke eigenvalues of a classical modular eigenform ff, based on the analytic evaluation of ff at points in the upper half plane. Our approach works with arbitrary precision, allows for a strict control of the error in the approximation, and outperforms current exact computation methods.
