Abstract
In a 1987 letter, Serre proves that the systems of Hecke eigenvalues arising from mod modular forms (of fixed level coprime to , and any weight ) are the same as those arising from functions , where is some double quotient of and is the unique quaternion algebra over ramified at . We present an algorithm which then computes these Hecke eigenvalues on the quaternion side in a combinatorial manner.
