Cusp eigenforms and the hall algebra of an elliptic curve

Abstract

AbstractWe give an explicit construction of the cusp eigenforms on an elliptic curve defined over a finite field, using the theory of Hall algebras and the Langlands correspondence for function fields and ${\mathrm{GL} }_{n} $. As a consequence we obtain a description of the Hall algebra of an elliptic curve as an infinite tensor product of simpler algebras. We prove that all these algebras are specializations of a universal spherical Hall algebra (as defined and studied by Burban and Schiffmann [On the Hall algebra of an elliptic curve I, Preprint (2005), arXiv:math/0505148 [math.AG]] and Schiffmann and Vasserot [The elliptic Hall algebra, Cherednik Hecke algebras and Macdonald polynomials, Compositio Math. 147 (2011), 188–234]).
