We would like to know if certain sums of modular symbols span the space. For a simple example, let
sage: M=ModularSymbols(11,2);M Modular Symbols space of dimension 3 for Gamma_0(11) of weight 2 with sign 0 over Rational Field sage: M.basis() ((1,0), (1,8), (1,9)) Now, say we have three sums of symbols expressed in terms of the basis as follows s1 = 2*(1,8) - (1,9) s2 = -(1,0) + (1,9) s3 = -(1,0) + (1,8) How can we show, in Sage, that these three sums span the space? Or if not, give the dimension of the subspace? I realize that this would be a simple linear algebra problem if I could get the coefficients involved into some kind of matrix format.
