Generating-series conjecture for newform dimensions at levels 2 and 3

For N=2,3N=2,3, let Sknew(Γ0(N))±\mathcal S_k^{\mathrm{new}}(\Gamma_0(N))^{\pm} denote the subspaces of newforms of weight kk and level Γ0(N)\Gamma_0(N) on which the Atkin–Lehner involution acts by ±1\pm1. Generating-series conjecture. The generating series of their dimensions, for k6k\geq6, are

k=6dim(Sknew(Γ0(2)))+xk=x8(1x6)(1x8),\sum_{k=6}^{\infty}\dim\bigl(\mathcal S_k^{\mathrm{new}}(\Gamma_0(2))\bigr)^+x^k=\frac{x^8}{(1-x^6)(1-x^8)}, k=6dim(Sknew(Γ0(2)))xk=x2(1+x18)(1x8)(1x12),\sum_{k=6}^{\infty}\dim\bigl(\mathcal S_k^{\mathrm{new}}(\Gamma_0(2))\bigr)^-x^k=\frac{x^2(1+x^{18})}{(1-x^8)(1-x^{12})}, k=6dim(Sknew(Γ0(3)))+xk=x8(1x2)(1x12),\sum_{k=6}^{\infty}\dim\bigl(\mathcal S_k^{\mathrm{new}}(\Gamma_0(3))\bigr)^+x^k=\frac{x^8}{(1-x^2)(1-x^{12})}, k=6dim(Sknew(Γ0(3)))xk=x6(1+x8+x10x12)(1x4)(1x12).\sum_{k=6}^{\infty}\dim\bigl(\mathcal S_k^{\mathrm{new}}(\Gamma_0(3))\bigr)^-x^k=\frac{x^6(1+x^8+x^{10}-x^{12})}{(1-x^4)(1-x^{12})}.

The conjecture is motivated by numerical agreement between eigenspace dimensions of the relevant matrices and dimensions of the corresponding newform spaces; the lower limit k=6k=6 reflects the vanishing of the lower-weight newform spaces and the range in which the method applies. No resolution is supplied in the source.
