Back to Degree 2, Back to the start
has three cusps, so in general we expect the dimension of the space of modular forms to be greater by three than the space of cusp forms.
Let
denote the non-trivial character mod 4.
There is a weight 1 Eisenstein series in
which is associated with
It is given by
It is well known that if
then
is a modular form of weight 1 for
.
In fact,
For weight two there are two modular forms, one with a minus and one
with a plus. These can be found from the modular form
of weight two on
.
Thus,
and
Then,
Also,
is a weight 2 form. We find that
These give rise to three linearly independent modular forms of weight 4:
Note that there are two plusses and one minus modular form of weight 4.vel4.html
