We show that the number of solutions is finite for all $N$. Assuming Maeda's conjecture, we prove that the Petersson inner product $\\langle f^2,g\\rangle$ is nonzero, where $f$ and $g$ are any nonzero cusp eigenforms for $SL_2(\\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $k$ and $2k$, respectively. As a corollary, we obtain that, assuming Maeda's conjecture, identities between cusp eigenforms for $SL_2(\\mathbb{Z})$ of the form $X^2+\\sum_{i=1}^n \\alpha_iY_i=0$ all are forced by dimension considerations. We also give a proof using polynomial identities between eigenforms that the $j$-function is algebraic on zeros of Eisenstein series of weight $12k$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-01-11T23:49:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hecke eigenforms", "assuming maedas conjecture", "petersson inner product", "nonzero cusp eigenforms", "eisenstein series" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
