A simultaneous eigenfunction of all normalized level-one Hecke operators in positive even weight, with nonzero constant Fourier coefficient, is a multiple of the normalized Eisenstein series. The constant coefficient forces its Tn​ eigenvalue to be σk−1​(n), and a1​(Tn​f)=an​(f) forces an​(f)=a1​(f)σk−1​(n). Subtracting the matching constant multiple of the Eisenstein series leaves a cusp form. Unless every coefficient vanishes, its prime-index coefficients grow like pk−1, contradicting the Fourier coefficient bound for a cusp form O(pk/2) when k≥4. Weight two has no nonzero modular forms, by vanishing of weight-two level-one modular forms.
