The proposed method allows us to explicitly compute the case with $\\ell=29$ and $f$ of weight $k=16$, and the cases with $\\ell=31$ and $f$ of weight $k=12,20, 22$. All the results are rigorously proved to be correct. As an example, we will compute the values modulo $31$ of Ramanujan's tau function at some huge primes up to a sign. Also we will give an improved higher bound on Lehmer's conjecture for Ramanujan's tau function.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-08-04T02:37:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "galois representations", "modular forms", "ramanujans tau function", "computations", "values modulo" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1311.0577T" } } }
