I am currently trying to calculate the eigenvalues of the Hecke operator on certain spaces of modular forms. I am able to find the characteristic polynomial, using the built in function hecke_series(p,N,k,m), but then when I try to calculate the roots of this polynomial, I run into an issue where the calculation never finishes, and when I interrupt the kernel it says that it was a "not implemented" error.

I have tried both simply doing

hecke_series(p,N,k,m).roots(multiplicities=False)

and manually setting the ring, as in

hecke_series(p,N,k,m).roots(QuotientRing(ZZ,(p^m)*ZZ), multiplicities=False)

But neither way works. Can anyone explain why this error is occurring, and how to fix it?

I tried to lift the resulted polynomial to $\Bbb Q_p[X]$, or even $\Bbb Q[X]$, then take the roots or factor over the better base field $\Bbb Q_p$, taken with some good precision. Here are some results for increasing values of $m$:

p = 7
F = Qp(p, prec=30)
R.<X> = PolynomialRing(F)
S.<T> = PolynomialRing(QQ)
SHOW_FACTORS = False

for m in [1..8]:
    hs = hecke_series(p, 6, 22, m)
    print(f'\nm = {m}\nhecke series = {hs}')
    for root, mul in S(hs).roots(ring=F):
        print(f'root {root +O(7^10)}')
    if not SHOW_FACTORS:
        continue
    try:
        print('Factors:')
        for f, mul in R(hs).factor():
            print(f)
    except:
        print('*** factorization failed ***\n')

(I am computing the roots with precision $7^{40}$ or so, but printing is cut to $7^{10}$ to have a compact print.) Results:

m = 1
hecke series = 2*x^5 + x^3 + 5*x^2 + 5*x + 1

root 3 + 5*7^2 + 6*7^3 + 7^4 + 7^6 + 5*7^7 + 7^8 + 2*7^9 + O(7^10)

There seems to be a digit for digit better approximated root with increasing $m$ near $$ 3 + 5 \cdot 7^{2} + 6 \cdot 7^{3} + 7^{4} + 7^{6} + \dots\ . $$

I see. This seems to work, but I do notice something strange. Apparently, the p-adic valuation of the eigenvalues should be the same for k+j(p-1) for all j >=0, but when using this code that doesn't appear to be the case. So something seems off.

I see. Do you know of any way to get around this not being implemented? Is there a way to calculate it without using this specific function?
