Abstract

In 1973, Swinnerton-Dyer completely classified all congruences for coefficients of normalized eigenforms in weights k{12,16,18,20,22,26}k \in \{12, 16, 18, 20, 22, 26\} on Γ0(1)=SL2(Z)\Gamma_{0}(1) = \operatorname{SL}_{2}(\mathbb{Z}) using the theory of modular Galois representations. In this paper, we classify congruences of Type I and Type II considered by Swinnerton-Dyer for the coefficients of eta-quotient newforms in Sk(N,χ)S_{k}(N, \chi). When k2k \geq 2, we prove them using the theory of modular forms modulo primes. We also prove extensions of these congruences modulo prime powers.
