Brent's nonvanishing conjecture for interpolated Hecke-group cusp-form coefficients

Let Δm\Delta_m be one of Δm\Delta_m^{\star}, Δm\Delta_m^{\dagger}, or Δm\Delta_m^{\diamond}, with Fourier expansion

Δm(z)=n=1τm(n)qm(z)n.\Delta_m(z)=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\tau_m(n)q_m(z)^n.

Brent's cusp-coefficient nonvanishing conjecture. There are corresponding polynomials TnQ[x]T_n\in\mathbb{Q}[x] satisfying τm(n)=Tn(m)\tau_m(n)=T_n(m) for m=3,4,m=3,4,\ldots, together with the factorization and coefficient descriptions stated for TnT_n^{\star}, TnT_n^{\dagger}, and TnT_n^{\diamond}; none of these polynomials takes an integer greater than two to zero. Consequently, none of the coefficients τm(n)\tau_m(n) vanishes for m=3,4,m=3,4,\ldots. The claim concerns nonvanishing of Fourier coefficients across the three normalized cusp-form families and is supported only by the conjectured interpolating factorizations and numerical observations.
