On Decomposition of Drinfeld cusp forms of level $t$

In this article, we first prove that the Hecke operator $T_t$ has no eigenform in $\Sla$ with eigenvalue $-t^{k/2}$, when the characteristic of the base field is odd. Furthermore, if $\dim \Slt$ is even, we show that $T_t$ has no eigenform in $\Sla$ with eigenvalue $t^{k/2}$. As a consequence, we prove that the direct sum decomposition $\Slt=\Sold \oplus \Snew$ holds when $\dim \Slt$ is even. This proves the conjecture \cite[Conjecture 1.1(3)]{BV19a} of Bandini and Valentino for an infinite family of cusp forms. In particular, for any weight $k$, there exists at least one type $m$ (there are only two possible non-trivial values of $m$) for which the conjecture \cite[Conjecture 1.1(3)]{BV19a} is true.

The modular automorphisms of quotient modular curves

We obtain the modular automorphism group of any quotient modular curve of level $N$, with $4,9\nmid N$. In particular, we obtain some non-expected automorphisms of order 3 that appear for the quotient modular curves when the Atkin-Lehner involution $w_{25}$ belongs to the quotient modular group, such automorphisms are not necessarily defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. As a consequence of the results, we obtain the full automorphism group of the quotient modular curve $X_0^*(N^2)$, for sufficiently large $N$.

A Basis for the space of weakly holomorphic Drinfeld modular forms of level $T$

In this article, we explicitly construct a canonical basis for the space of certain weakly holomorphic Drinfeld modular forms for $Γ_0(T)$ (resp., for $Γ_0^+(T)$) and compute the generating function satisfied by the basis elements. We also give an explicit expression for the action of the $Θ$-operator, which depends on the divisor of meromorphic Drinfeld modular forms.

Notes on Atkin-Lehner theory for Drinfeld modular forms

In this article, we settle a part of the Conjecture by Bandini and Valentino (\cite{BV19a}) for $S_{k,l}(Γ_0(T))$ when $\mathrm{dim}\ S_{k,l}(\mathrm{GL}_2(A))\leq 2$. Then, we frame this conjecture for prime, higher levels, and provide some evidence in favour of it. For any square-free level $\mathfrak{n}$, we define oldforms $S_{k,l}^{\mathrm{old}}(Γ_0(\mathfrak{n}))$, newforms $S_{k,l}^{\mathrm{new}}(Γ_0(\mathfrak{n}))$, and investigate their properties. These properties depend on the commutativity of the (partial) Atkin-Lehner operators with the $U_\mathfrak{p}$-operators. Finally, we show that the set of all $U_\mathfrak{p}$-operators are simultaneously diagonalizable on $S_{k,l}^{\mathrm{new}}(Γ_0(\mathfrak{n}))$.

The structure of Drinfeld modular forms of level $Γ_0(T)$ and applications

In this article, we describe the structure of the $R$-algebra of Drinfeld modular forms $M(Γ_0(T))_R$ (resp., $M^0(Γ_0(T))_R$) of level $Γ_0(T)$ and the structure of mod-$\p$ reduction of $M_{\mfp}^0(Γ_0(T))$ for $\p \neq (T)$. As a result, we are able to study the properties of the weight filtration for $M_{k,l}(Γ_0(T))$. Finally, we prove a result on mod-$\p$ congruences for Drinfeld modular forms of level $Γ_0(\p T)$ for $\p \neq (T)$.
