Abstract: In this article we report on a surprising relation between the transfer operators for the congruence subgroups Gamma0(n) and the Hecke operators on the space of period functions for the modular group PSL(2,mathbbZ). For this we study special eigenfunctions of the transfer operators with eigenvalues mp1, which are also solutions of the Lewis equations for the groups Gamma0(n) and which are determined by eigenfunctions of the transfer operator for the modular group PSL(2,mathbbZ). In the language of the Atkin-Lehner theory of old and new forms one should hence call them old eigenfunctions or old solutions of Lewis equation. It turns out that the sum of the components of these old solutions for the group Gamma0(n) determine for any n a solution of the Lewis equation for the modular group and hence also an eigenfunction of the transfer operator for this group.
