Abstract: Let N and p be primes such that p divides the numerator of fracN−112. In this paper, we study the rank gp of the completion of the Hecke algebra acting on cuspidal modular forms of weight 2 and level Gamma0(N) at the p-maximal Eisenstein ideal. We give in particular an explicit criterion to know if gpgeq3, thus answering partially a question of Mazur. In order to study gp, we develop the theory of extit{higher Eisenstein elements}, and compute the first few such elements in four different Hecke modules. This has applications such as generalizations of the Eichler mass formula in characteristic p.


Let \(N\) and \(p\) be primes such that \(p\) divides the numerator of \(\frac{N-1}{12}\). Let \(g_p\) denote the rank of the completion of the Hecke algebra acting on cuspidal modular forms of weight \(2\) and level \(\Gamma_0(N)\) at the \(p\)-maximal Eisenstein ideal. \textit{B. Mazur} asked [Publ. Math., Inst. Hautes Étud. Sci. 47, 33--186 (1977; Zbl 0394.14008)] what can be said about \(g_p\). \textit{L. Merel} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 477, 71--115 (1996; Zbl 0859.11036)] was first to give explicit criterion to know if \(g_p>1\) (for \(p\geq 5\)). The author gives explicit criterion to know if \(g_p>2\) (Theorem 1.2). In order to prove Theorem 1.2 (and much more) he develops the theory of higher Eisenstein elements.
