Counting eta-quotients of prime level

Allison Arnold-Roksandich, Kevin James and Rodney Keaton

Vol. 11 (2018), No. 5, 827–844
Abstract

It is known that a modular form on SL2() can be expressed as a rational function in η(z), η(2z) and η(4z). By using known theorems and calculating the order of vanishing, we can compute the eta-quotients for a given level. Using this count, knowing how many eta-quotients are linearly independent, and using the dimension formula, we can figure out a subspace spanned by the eta-quotients. In this paper, we primarily focus on the case where the level is N = p, a prime. In this case, we will show an explicit count for the number of eta-quotients of level p and show that they are linearly independent.
