{synonym}

A <Dirichlet character> $\psi$ modulo $N$ specifying the displayed transformation law is the <nebentypus> of a <modular form>. The action of $-I$ forces $\psi(-1)=(-1)^k$ for a nonzero form. It describes a character eigenspace of the diamond action rather than an additional analytic condition at <modular cusps>.
