Re: Finding the generating funcction for a theta sequence?

["Kevin Acres" <research@research-systems.com>]

Hi Karim,

Thanks for the pointer. A longer sequence is:
[1, -12, 116, -12, -1804, 8120, 116, -155744, 684532, -12, -13237576,
58212208, -1804, -1125531816, 4949148576, 8120, -95692200972,
420774756136, 116, -8135721271536, 35774143649208, -155744,
-691696548706960, 3041506787016416, 684532, -58807829742387572,
258587980022941272, -12];

But I didn't get a match on that.

It's basically newform 24.6.a.b divided by 24.4.a.a (From LMFDB).

Regards,

Kevin.
