# Ambient spaces of modular symbols¶

This module defines the following classes. There is an abstract base class ModularSymbolsAmbient, derived from space.ModularSymbolsSpace and hecke.AmbientHeckeModule. As this is an abstract base class, only derived classes should be instantiated. There are five derived classes:

• ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g0, for modular symbols of general weight $$k$$ for $$\Gamma_0(N)$$;
• ModularSymbolsAmbient_wt2_g0 (derived from ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g0), for modular symbols of weight 2 for $$\Gamma_0(N)$$;
• ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_g1, for modular symbols of general weight $$k$$ for $$\Gamma_1(N)$$;
• ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_gamma_h, for modular symbols of general weight $$k$$ for $$\Gamma_H$$, where $$H$$ is a subgroup of $$\ZZ/N\ZZ$$;
• ModularSymbolsAmbient_wtk_eps, for modular symbols of general weight $$k$$ and character $$\epsilon$$.

EXAMPLES:

We compute a space of modular symbols modulo 2. The dimension is different from that of the corresponding space in characteristic 0:

sage: M = ModularSymbols(11,4,base_ring=GF(2)); M
Modular Symbols space of dimension 7 for Gamma_0(11) of weight 4
with sign 0 over Finite Field of size 2
sage: M.basis()
([X*Y,(1,0)], [X*Y,(1,8)], [X*Y,(1,9)], [X^2,(0,1)], [X^2,(1,8)], [X^2,(1,9)], [X^2,(1,10)])
sage: M0 =  ModularSymbols(11,4,base_ring=QQ); M0
Modular Symbols space of dimension 6 for Gamma_0(11) of weight 4

class sage.modular.modsym.ambient.ModularSymbolsAmbient(group, weight, sign, base_ring, character=None, custom_init=None)

submodule(M, dual_free_module=None, check=True)

Return the submodule with given generators or free module $$M$$.

useful to speed up certain calculations; it is the corresponding submodule of the ambient dual module;

a submodule, i.e. is invariant under all Hecke operators.

Note

It would make more sense to only check that $$M$$ is invariant under the Hecke operators with index coprime to the level. Unfortunately, I do not know a reasonable algorithm for determining whether a module is invariant under just the anemic Hecke algebra, since I do not know an analogue of the Sturm bound for the anemic Hecke algebra. - William Stein, 2007-07-27
