Computing weight one modular forms over $\C$ and $\Fpbar$

Number Theory 2016-05-19 v2

Abstract

We report on a systematic computation of weight one cuspidal eigenforms for the group Γ1(N)\Gamma_1(N) in characteristic zero and in characteristic p>2p>2. Perhaps the most surprising result was the existence of a mod 199 weight~1 cusp form of level 82 which does not lift to characteristic zero.

18 pages; second version incorporates a suggestion of Frank Calegari which makes a certain computation much more efficient (see Remark 8)
