On the diagonalizability of the Atkin U-operator for Drinfeld cusp forms

Number Theory 2017-10-05 v2

Abstract

We study the diagonalizability of the Atkin UU-operator acting on Drinfeld cusp forms for Γ1(t)\Gamma_1(t) and Γ(t)\Gamma(t) using Teitelbaum's interpretation as harmonic cocycles. We prove UU is diagonalizable for small weights and explicitly compute the eigenvalues. We also formulate a conjecture, supported by numerical search and proofs in some special cases, about non diagonalizability of UU in even characteristic.
