In this paper we prove that the product of two normalized eigenforms for {\\Gamma}_1(N), of weight greater than 1, is an eigenform only 61 times, and give a complete list. Duke [Duk99] and Ghate [Gha00] independently proved that with eigenforms for SL_2(Z), there are only 16 such product identities. Ghate [Gha02] also proved related results for {\\Gamma}_1(N), with N square free. Emmons [Emm05] proved results for eigenforms away from the level, for prime level. The methods we use are elementary and effective, and do not rely on the Rankin-Selberg convolution method used by both Duke and Ghate.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-10-28T19:31:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hecke eigenform", "rankin-selberg convolution method", "weight greater", "prime level", "eigenforms away" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 26, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1110.6430J" } } }
