Here are a couple of examples of mod 5 representations for which the elliptic curve (which must exist of course!) is rather large. ("up to primes below 10000" refers to how high I'm comparing the coefficients, rather than worrying about the sturm bound.) If anyone has the optional conductors up to 130000 database installed and wants to try running my code to find the curves, let me know and I'll send you my program. |
Attached are some text files giving some data about the minimal conductor < 10,000 for an elliptic curve realizing a mod 2, 3, or 5 representation attached to a newform of level < 150. -Sam |

Testing curves of conductor < 10000 up to primes below 10000 Testing a newform of level 31 with coefficient field Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 - x - 1 with prime Fractional ideal (-2*a + 1) of norm 5 Attempting to reduce coefficients Reduced the coeffs mod Fractional ideal (-2*a + 1) No elliptic curve matched the form!

Here is some more interesting data: for newforms of levels [29..100] with non-rational hecke field with a prime of norm 2, the following are (I think) the only examples where the level seems to be nonoptimal (i.e. serre conductor is strictly smaller than the level, i.e. I found a curve of conductor not divisible by the level).

There is only one conjugacy class of subgroups of GL(2,Z/9) which surjects onto (Z/9Z)* under the determinant map and reduces onto GL(2,Z/3). It is of size 144=3*#GL(2,Z/3).

Level 29 gives an example. Using the Hasse bound we see that a2 is -2,-1,0,1,2, so a2 mod 7 is 0,1,2,5,6. Thus one of the level 29 forms doesn't come from an elliptic curve.
