Lacunary recurrences and 2-adic properties of Eisenstein series
arXiv:2605.09738
Abstract
We study the rational coefficients that arise when the Eisenstein series is expressed as a polynomial in and , proving a conjecture that gives an exact formula for their minimal 2-adic valuation in terms of the binary expansion of the weight. The proof uses lacunary recurrences for Eisenstein series and yields refined information about the first valuation levels. As an application, we prove irreducibility results for Faber polynomials associated to dyadic linear combinations of powers of Eisenstein series.
