Gonzalo Tornaria has cleared up my confusion: Theorem 4.1 in the undergraduate research paper is true for integer weights, but not for half-integer weights. In particular, f(2*z) is not in M_{3/2}(8), as was claimed. See http://groups.google.com/group/sage-nt/browse_thread/thread/e84a0a7440625f1

Hi again, Let M_{3/2}(N) be the space of modular forms of weight 3/2, level N and trivial character. It seems that the Cohen-Oesterle (CO) dimensions are too small. For example, let f(z) = 1 + 6*q + 12*q^2 + ... be the (unique) basis element of M_{3/2}(4) and g(z) = 1 + 2*q + 4*q^2 + ... be

Hi William & David, Thank you for your help! From: http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/magma/htmlhelp/text1447.htm#14693 I see that Magma (to which I do not have access) can answer my first question with something like: Basis(CuspidalSubspace(HalfIntegralWeightForms(4,9/2))); and can answer my se

I suspect that these are simple questions, but need help getting started. Thank you! How do I exhibit coefficients of the unique cusp form of weight 9/2, level 4 and trivial character? (The coefficients should be 1, -6, 12, -8, 0, 12, -48, 48, -15, ...) How do I compute the dimension of the spa
