On projective linear groups over finite fields as Galois groups over the rational numbers

in Modular forms on Schiermonnikoog (2008)

Ideas and techniques from Khare's and Wintenberger's article on the proof of Serre's conjecture for odd conductors are used to establish that for a fixed prime l infinitely many of the groups PSL_2(F_{l^r ... [more ▼]

Ideas and techniques from Khare's and Wintenberger's article on the proof of Serre's conjecture for odd conductors are used to establish that for a fixed prime l infinitely many of the groups PSL_2(F_{l^r}) (for r running) occur as Galois groups over the rationals such that the corresponding number fields are unramified outside a set consisting of l, the infinite place and only one other prime.

On the failure of the Gorenstein property for Hecke algebras of prime weight

in Experimental Mathematics (2008), 17(1), 37--52

In this article we report on extensive calculations concerning the Gorenstein defect for Hecke algebras of spaces of modular forms of prime weight p at maximal ideals of residue characteristic p such that ... [more ▼]

In this article we report on extensive calculations concerning the Gorenstein defect for Hecke algebras of spaces of modular forms of prime weight p at maximal ideals of residue characteristic p such that the attached mod p Galois representation is unramified at p and the Frobenius at p acts by scalars. The results lead us to the ask the question whether the Gorenstein defect and the multplicity of the attached Galois representation are always equal to 2. We review the literature on the failure of the Gorenstein property and multiplicity one, discuss in some detail a very important practical improvement of the modular symbols algorithm over finite fields and include precise statements on the relationship between the Gorenstein defect and the multiplicity of Galois representations. The Magma package, instructions for its use, generated tables and the complete data are available as supplemental material. [less ▲]

On the faithfulness of parabolic cohomology as a Hecke module over a finite field

in Journal für die Reine und Angewandte Mathematik (2007), 606

In this article we prove that under certain conditions the Hecke algebra of cuspidal modular forms over F_p coincides with the Hecke algebra of a certain parabolic group cohomology group with coefficients ... [more ▼]

In this article we prove that under certain conditions the Hecke algebra of cuspidal modular forms over F_p coincides with the Hecke algebra of a certain parabolic group cohomology group with coefficients in F_p. These results can e.g. be used to compute Katz modular forms of weight one over an algebraic closure of F_p with methods of linear algebra over F_p. [less ▲]

Dihedral Galois representations and Katz modular forms

in Documenta Mathematica (2004), 9

We show that any two-dimensional odd dihedral representation \rho over a finite field of characteristic p>0 of the absolute Galois group of the rational numbers can be obtained from a Katz modular form of ... [more ▼]

We show that any two-dimensional odd dihedral representation \rho over a finite field of characteristic p>0 of the absolute Galois group of the rational numbers can be obtained from a Katz modular form of level N, character \epsilon and weight k, where N is the conductor, \epsilon is the prime-to-p part of the determinant and k is the so-called minimal weight of \rho. In particular, k=1 if and only if \rho is unramified at p. Direct arguments are used in the exceptional cases, where general results on weight and level lowering are not available. [less ▲]
