Computing Classical Modular Forms for Arbitrary Congruence Subgroups.
In this paper, we prove the existence of an efficient algorithm for the computation of \$q\$-expansions of modular forms of weight \$k\$ and level \$\Gamma\$, where \$\Gamma \subseteq SL_{2}({\mathbb{Z}})\$Expand
Twist-minimal trace formula for holomorphic cusp forms
We derive an explicit formula for the trace of an arbitrary Hecke operator on spaces of twist-minimal holomorphic cusp forms with arbitrary level and character, and weight at least 2. We show thatExpand
Computing newforms using supersingular isogeny graphs.
We describe an algorithm that we used to compute the \$q\$-expansions of all weight 2 cusp forms of prime level at most 800,000 and dimension at most 6. We also present an algorithm that we used toExpand

We explain how to construct efficiently tables of quartic fields by using Dirichlet series coming from Kummer theory, instead of the traditional methods using the geometry of numbers.
