2 A Classical Problem V = Q n, q : V Q a positive definite quadratic form. L, L V lattices (i.e. Z-submodules in V of rank n) L, L isometric, L = L, iff gl = L for some g O(q); class(l) = {M M = L}. L, L in the same genus, iff for all p prime there is g p O(Q p V, Q p q) with g p(z p L) = Z p L. L, L isometric implies L, L in the same genus but the converse is false. The genus of L decomposes into finitely many isometry classes; genus(l) = class(l 1)... class(l r), r the class number of L. Question: How do we find representatives for the isometry classes in a given genus? Theorem (Eichler, Kneser) Assume L even (i.e. q(l) 2Z) of rank greater or equal 3, det(l) squarefree, and p det(l) prime. Then every class in the genus of L is represented by a lattice M such that Z q L = Z q M q p. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 2 / 20

3 Strong Approximation and the Kneser Method Neighbours L as before. M, N genus(l) are called p-neighbours, M p N if [M : M N] = [N : M N] = p. Theorem (Kneser) For M genus(l) there is an M class(m) and a chain of lattices L = L 0, L 1,..., L k = M such that L 0 p L1 p L2 p... p M. Neighbouring Graph The p-neighbouring graph of genus(l) is the directed weighted graph with vertices the isometry classes in genus(l) and edges class(l i) class(l j) weighted by the number of p-neighbours of L i isometric to L j.

4 Example Dimension 16 There are two isometry classes in the set of even unimodular lattices of rank 16: class(e 8 E 8) class(d 16). + The 2-neighbouring graph of this genus is: Remark Note that = , number of neighbours does not depend on the class. Note that = Aut(E 8 E 8 ) Aut(D + 16 ). The adjacency matrix of the graph acts as a Hecke operator on the space of modular forms generated by the theta series of the two lattices (Eichler, Andrianov, Yoshida).

5 Algebraic Modular Forms Notation: G almost simple algebraic group defined over Q, G(R) compact, V a f.d. Q-rational representation of G, A f the finite adeles of Q. Definition [Gross 99] K G(A f ) open and compact. M(V, K) := {f : G(A f ) V f(gxk) = gf(x) for all g G(Q), x G(A f ), k K}, the space of algebraic modular forms of level K and weight V. Remark gkg 1 G(Q) < for all g G(A f ). G(Q)\G(A f )/K <. Let G(A f ) = r i=1 G(Q)γiK and Γi := γikγ 1 i G(Q) then M(V, K) =Q r V Γ i. i=1 Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 5 / 20

6 The Hecke Algebra Definition K G(A f ) open and compact. H K := {f : G(A f ) Q f compactly supported and K-bi-invariant} with multiplication by convolution. The Hecke algebra of G with respect to K. Remark H K has the natural basis 1 KγK, KγK G(A f ) /K. Let γ 1, γ 2 G(A f ) with Kγ ik = j γi,jk. The multiplication in HK is 1 Kγ1 K1 Kγ2 K = j,j 1 γ1,j γ 2,j K. If K = p Kp is a product of local factors, the Hecke algebra is the restricted tensor product H K = ph Kp. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 6 / 20

7 The Action of the Hecke Algebra Definition For γ G(A f ) we define the linear operator T (γ) End Q (M(V, K)) via (T (γ)f)(x) = i f(xγ i) where f M(V, K) and KγK = i γik. Remark The additive extension of 1 KγK T (γ) defines an algebra homomorphism H K End Q (M(V, K)). M(V, K) is a semi-simple H K-module.

8 Integral Forms What would be interesting / computationally well-suited open compact subgroups to consider? Definition Let G GL n be a faithful representation. An integral form G L of G is given by a lattice L Z Q n via G L(O k ) = Stab G(k) (O k L), G L(Z p) = Stab G(Qp)(Z p L) for every finite extension k of Q and every prime p. Remark G(A f ) acts on the integral forms via (g p) pl = L where Z p L = g p(z p L) for all p. Stab G(Af )(L) = p GL(Zp) is an open compact subgroup of G(A f ). G L(Z p) is a hyperspecial maximal compact subgroup of G(Q p) for all but finitely many p. Call L, L (G-)isomorphic if gl = L for some g G(Q). Say L, L in the same genus if γl = L for some γ G(A f ).

9 Some (very informal) remarks on buildings Associated to G(Q p) there is a so-called building B, a simplicial complex with a G(Q p)-action and the following properties: B is a union of apartments A which are in bijection with the maximal Q p-split tori of G. Each apartment is an affine Euclidean space. Each apartment A corresponding to T comes with an extended affine Weyl group, W = X (T ) W 0, where W 0 is the usual (finite) Weyl group (w.r.t. T ). The extended affine Weyl group is an extension of an infinite Coxeter group by an abelian group. Every compact subgroup fixes a point in B. The stabilizers of vertices are always maximal compact subgroups. There is a Bruhat decomposition G(Q p) = w W IwI where I is the pointwise stabilizer of a maximal simplex (chamber). New concept of p-neighbourship (of certain lattices/ integral forms/ open compact subgroups) via closeness in the affine building. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 9 / 20

10 Example: The affine building of type G 2 The group G 2 can be realized as the automorphism group of the (8-dim.) octonion algebra O (Dickson-double of the Hamilton quaternions). The affine building for G 2(Q p) can be realized as follows: There are 3 labels for the vertices, V = V 1 V 2 V 3, corresponding to 3 (G 2(Q p)-)classes of orders in O p. Hyperspecial vertices correspond to maximal orders. Adjacency is given by inclusion (V 1 V 2 V 3). An apartment in this building looks as follows: Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 10 / 20

11 Algorithmic Questions Aim: Compute the action of T (γ) on M(V, K) (where K comes from an integral form G L). Approach Decompose G(A f ) = i G(Q)µiK, compute Γi = µikµ 1 i G(Q) and V Γ i. Decompose KγK = j γjk. For i, j write γ jµ i as g µ i k for some i. Aspects to consider What do we have to know in order to make this work? Decide for two integral forms if they are G-isomorphic / compute the stabilizer of a lattice in G(Q). Be able to compute a system of representatives for genus(g L). Decompose double cosets into left cosets. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 11 / 20

12 Stabilizers and Isometries G GL n, L, L < Q n lattices. G(Q) GL n(q) compact G(Q) fixes a definite inner product on Q n. G(Q) O n(q) Stab G(Q) (L) Stab On(Q)(L). Stab On(Q)(L) computable (Plesken-Souvignier-algorithm) and finite Finding Stab G(Q) (L) reduced to a finite problem. Same idea for isometry testing: Find O n-isometry g : L L All isometries are given by g Stab On(Q)(L) Finite problem. Example: G 2 The group G 2 can be realized as the automorphism group of the (8-dim.) octonion algebra O (Dickson-double of the Hamilton quaternions). G 2 fixes the inner product (x, y) xȳ. L < O lattice then Stab G2 (L) is the stabilizer of the multiplication (which can be thought of as an element of V V V ) in Stab O8 (L). E.g. L a maximal order then Stab O8 (L) = , Stab G2 (L) = Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 12 / 20

13 Genus Enumeration Question: How do you compute representatives of genus(l) starting at L? Almost Strong Approximation If G is simply connected and of certain type then there is a finite set Ω of primes such that for all p / Ω the lattice L p is hyperspecial and we can find representatives of genus(l) as p-neighbours of L. Question: How do you know when to stop? Mass Formula Let genus(l) = class(l 1)... class(l r) and set mass(genus(l)) := r i=1 1 Stab G (L i). Then we can compute mass(genus(l)) from information only on the local structure of L. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 13 / 20

Genus Representative Class Number Mass Decomposition O 2 D, D = O 2 D, D = O 2 D, D = O 2 D, D = ( 1, 1 Q ( 2, 5 Q ( 2, 13 Q ( 1, 23 Q ) ) ) ) Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 14 / 20

15 Coset Decomposition Aim: Decompose a double coset KγK into left cosets. First observation: Since H K = ph Kp we only need to do this locally. For simplicity assume: G split at p, K p nice. Structure of p-adic Groups (Bruhat-Tits) I K p G(Q p) Iwahori subgroup, W (= X W 0) the extended affine Weyl group. G(Q p) = w W IwI, Kp = w W Kp IwI for some W Kp W. H I is an algebra with basis T w, w W and multiplication T wt w = T ww if l(ww ) = l(w) + l(w ), T 2 s = (p 1)T s + p for the simple reflections s. e := [K p : I] 1 w W Kp T w H I is an idempotent and H Kp = ehie. Coset Decomposition Bruhat-Tits ( 65): Explicit formula to decompose IwI, w W into I-left cosets. Lansky-Pollack (2001): Explicit formula to decompose K pwk p, w W into K p-left cosets. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 15 / 20

16 Example G 2 G of type G 2 (simply connected and adjoint) with extended Dynkin diagram (at split prime p): G 2 : If K open compact, with K p hyperspecial maximal compact (W Kp = s 1, s 2 ), then the local Hecke algebra H Kp is a polynomial ring in two variables generated by the characteristic functions on the double cosets T 1 := K ps 0K p and T 2 := K ps 0s 1s 2s 1s 0K p. T 1 decomposes into q(q 5 + q 4 + q 3 + q 2 + q + 1) left cosets. T 2 decomposes into q 5 (q 5 + q 4 + q 3 + q 2 + q + 1) left cosets. Sp 4 In the analogous situation for Sp 4 (simply connected but not adjoint) there are also two generators which decompose into q(q 3 + q 2 + q + 1) and q 3 (q 3 + q 2 + q + 1) left cosets, respectively. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 16 / 20

17 Venkov s Method Aim: Give an alternative method to compute neighbouring operators. Idea: Use a generalization of the following method attributed to Venkov: L, L two lattices then mass(genus(l)) [Stab G(L) : Stab G (L, L )] [Stab G (L ) : Stab G (L, L )] = mass(genus(l )). Now: p prime such that G is split at p and L p is hyperspecial, genus(l) = [L 1]... [L r]. Neighbouring Operator Set N p Z r r the matrix with (N p) i,j = {L L p-neighbour of L i, L = Lj}. (1) The neighbouring operator of genus(l) at p (or the Hecke operator T (s 0) where s 0 is the fundamental reflection at p not fixing L) or just the adjacency matrix of the neighbouring graph. Fix a lattice M L such that L, L are p-neighbours iff L L genus(m) (very often possible). Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 17 / 20

18 The Venkov Transfer Observation We can write genus(m) = [M 1]... [M s] where each M i is a sublattice of L j for some j. The Transfer Matrix Set T L M the matrix given by (T L M ) i,j = {M M L i, M = Mj} and define T M L the other way around. Remark There are often far fewer M genus(m), M L than there are p-neighbours of L. (T L M ) i,j Stab Mj = (T M L ) j,i Stab Li. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 18 / 20

19 The Neighbouring Operator Theorem T M L T L M = a I r + N p where a is the number of lattices in the genus of M contained in L. Generalization We can generalize this method to include other operators and modular forms of arbitrary weight: Let K 1, K 2 be two open compact subgroups and let K 2 = k i(k 1 K 2). Then we get an operator T 1 2 : M(V, K 1) M(V, K 2), f f where f (x) = i f(xk i). This is well-defined and generalizes the T L M from above. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 19 / 20

20 Some Remarks Properties of the operators T 1 2 T L M is the matrix of T 1 2 where K 1 is the stabilizer of L, K 2 is the stabilizer of M and V is the trivial representation. T 1 2 and T 2 1 are adjoint to each other with respect to certain scalar products. In particular we can compute T 2 1 if we know T 1 2 (and some other easily obtained information). T 2 1 T 1 2 : M(V, K 1) M(V, K 1) acts as an element of the Hecke algebra (w.r.t. K 1). Under certain conditions we have explicit knowledge of the cosets appearing in T 2 1 T 1 2 (e.g. if K 1 and K 2 differ only at one (split) prime and G is simply connected). The local Hecke algebra for simply connected groups of type C n at hyperspecial primes is generated by n operators of the form T 2 1 T 1 2. In general these operators do not generate the whole Hecke algebra. Sebastian Schönnenbeck November 27, 2015 Algorithmic Treatment of Algebraic Modular Forms 20 / 20
