Computations of Galois Representations Associated to Modular Forms
We propose an improved algorithm for computing mod Galois
representations associated to a cusp form of level one. The proposed method
allows us to explicitly compute the case with and of weight
, and the cases with and of weight . All the
results are rigorously proved to be correct.
As an example, we will compute the values modulo of Ramanujan's tau
function at some huge primes up to a sign. Also we will give an improved higher
bound on Lehmer's conjecture for Ramanujan's tau function.Comment: This paper has been published in Acta Arithmetic
Computing the cardinality of CM elliptic curves using torsion points
Let E be an elliptic curve having complex multiplication by a given quadratic
order of an imaginary quadratic field K. The field of definition of E is the
ring class field Omega of the order. If the prime p splits completely in Omega,
then we can reduce E modulo one the factors of p and get a curve Ep defined
over GF(p). The trace of the Frobenius of Ep is known up to sign and we need a
fast way to find this sign. For this, we propose to use the action of the
Frobenius on torsion points of small order built with class invariants a la
Weber, in a manner reminiscent of the Schoof-Elkies-Atkin algorithm for
computing the cardinality of a given elliptic curve modulo p. We apply our
results to the Elliptic Curve Primality Proving algorithm (ECPP).Comment: Revised and shortened version, including more material using
discriminants of curves and division polynomial
Black Box Galois Representations
We develop methods to study -dimensional -adic Galois representations
of the absolute Galois group of a number field , unramified outside a
known finite set of primes of , which are presented as Black Box
representations, where we only have access to the characteristic polynomials of
Frobenius automorphisms at a finite set of primes. Using suitable finite test
sets of primes, depending only on and , we show how to determine the
determinant , whether or not is residually reducible, and
further information about the size of the isogeny graph of whose
vertices are homothety classes of stable lattices. The methods are illustrated
with examples for , and for imaginary quadratic, being
the representation attached to a Bianchi modular form.
These results form part of the first author's thesis.Comment: 40 pages, 3 figures. Numerous minor revisions following two referees'

Computing fundamental domains for the Bruhat-Tits tree for GL2(Qp), p-adic automorphic forms, and the canonical embedding of Shimura curves
We describe an algorithm for computing certain quaternionic quotients of the
Bruhat-Tits tree for GL2(Qp). As an application, we describe an algorithm to
obtain (conjectural) equations for the canonical embedding of Shimura curves.Comment: Accepted for publication in LMS Journal of Computation and
