q-expansion principle and the constant term of modular form












1












$begingroup$


If I have a modular form $f=sum_{n=0}^infty a_nq^n$
of weight k, level N and character $chi$. Assume all $a_n$ except $a_0$ generate a number field, must $a_0$ also lie in this number field?



Motivation:I want to understand why the constant terms of Eisenstein series i.e some special values of Dirichlet series are algebraic number in general.

    What about $h = (f-a_0) Delta in S_{k+12}(Gamma_0(N),chi)oplus S_{12}(Gamma_0(1))$ ? It has algebraic coefficients and its projection on the (normalized) eigenforms basis $(g_j)$ can be found from finitely many coefficients of $h$ and $g_j$, so $h = sum_j c_j g_j$ with $c_j$ algebraic

    @reuns So you are considering the direct sum of spaces of cusp forms with different level, how to choose $g_j$ such that their coefficients are contained in the field generated by $a_i(i>0)$?

    Try replacing $S_{k+12}(Gamma_0(N),chi)$ by $S_{k+12}(Gamma_1(N))$ ? In that space $g_i^sigma$ in one of the $g_j$, so you can find a basis for the $K_f$ vector space of the forms with coefficients in $K_f$
