= Hecke operator on lattice functions

{title2=$T_n$}

One standard normalization is
$$
(T_nF)(\Lambda)=\frac1n\sum_{\Lambda'\supset\Lambda\atop[\Lambda':\Lambda]=n}F(\Lambda').
$$
With <lattice model of a modular form> homogeneity $F(uL)=u^{-k}F(L)$, the factor $1/n$ gives the usual weight-$k$ <Hecke operator>. For prime $p$, the overlattices contribute $f((\tau+b)/p)$ and $p^kf(p\tau)$; division by $p$ produces the standard Fourier coefficients.
