Diagonalizing Hilbert cusp forms

Timothy Atwill

Vol. 169 (1995), No. 1, 33–49
Abstract

We develop an operator Cq𝒬) on the space 𝒮k(𝒩,Ψ) of Hilbert cuspforms as an alternative to the Hecke operator Tq for primes q dividing 𝒩. For f ∈𝒮k(𝒩,Ψ) a newform, we have fCq𝒬) = fTq. We are able to decompose the space 𝒮k(𝒩,Ψ) into a direct sum of common eigenspaces of {Tp,Cq𝒬) : p 𝒩,q𝒩}, each of dimension one. Each common eigenspace is spanned by an element with the property that its eigenvalue with respect to Tp (resp. Cq𝒬)) is its p-th (resp q-th) Fourier coefficient. We finish by deriving bounds for the eigenvalues of Cq𝒬).
