Abstract:
In this paper we list all the weight $2$ newforms $f(\tau )$ that are products and quotients of the Dedekind eta-function \begin{equation*} \eta (\tau ):=q^{1/24}\prod _{n=1}^{\infty }(1-q^{n}), \end{equation*} where $q:=e^{2\pi i \tau }.$ There are twelve such $f(\tau ),$ and we give a model for the strong Weil curve $E$ whose Hasse-Weil $L-$function is the Mellin transform for each of them. Five of the $f(\tau )$ have complex multiplication, and we give elementary formulae for their Fourier coefficients which are sums of Hecke Grössencharacter values. These formulae follow easily from well known $q-$series infinite product identities.References
