We find the extent to which such modular forms separate points on X(4p). Our main result is that these modular forms give rise to a morphism F from the quotient of X(4p) by a certain involution i to projective space, such that F is a projective embedding of X(4p)/i away from the cusps. We also report on computer calculations regarding products of such modular forms, going up to weight 4 for p <= 13, and up to weight 3 for p <= 23, and make a conjecture about these products and about the nature of the singularities at the cusps of the image F(X(4p)/i).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-02-29T06:42:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11F11", "11F23" ], "keywords": [ "modular forms separate points", "modular curve", "computer calculations regarding products", "odd prime", "study pullbacks" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......2545J" } } }
