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

At least 5 years old · documented by

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=1∞τm(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 Tn∈Q[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 Tn⋆T_n^{\star}, Tn†T_n^{\dagger}, and Tn⋄T_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.
