Slope Computations for small prime and weight

As explained in "Where the Slopes Are" (which is available in either pdf format or dvi format), the files contain, for primes less than 100, slope sequences for forms of weight k, level p, and trivial character. For each prime, I indicate below the largest weight computed.

The notes and slides from a seminar talk discussing these computations are also available in either dvi format or pdf format. The talk is more informal than the paper.

This paper has now appeared:

  • "Where the Slopes Are," Journal of the Ramanujan Mathematical Society, 16 (2001), 75--99.

    The observations discussed in the paper and the talk include:

    Here are the actual files:
