Abstract

Let FF be an arbitrary totally real field. Under weak conditions we prove the existence of certain Eisenstein congruences between parallel weight k3k \geq 3 Hilbert eigenforms of level mp\mathfrak{mp} and Hilbert Eisenstein series of level m\mathfrak{m}, for arbitrary ideal m\mathfrak{m} and prime ideal pm\mathfrak{p}\nmid \mathfrak{m} of OF\mathcal{O}_F. Such congruences have their moduli coming from special values of Hecke LL-functions and their Euler factors, and our results allow for the eigenforms to have non-trivial Hecke character. After this, we consider the question of when such congruences can be satisfied by newforms, proving a general result about this.
