Abstract:

Let $f$ be a newform, as specified by its Hecke eigenvalues, on a Shimura curve $X$. We describe a method for evaluating $f$. The most interesting case is when $X$ arises as a compact quotient of the hyperbolic plane, so that classical $q$-expansions are not available. The method takes the form of an explicit, rapidly-convergent formula that is well-suited for numerical computation. We apply it to the problem of computing modular parametrizations of elliptic curves, and illustrate with some numerical examples.

An important ingredient is a new method for numerically computing Petersson inner products, which may be of independent interest.
