Abstract
I begin with a simple modular form motivated proof of the following: Let
$C_{n}$ in $Z/2[[t]]$ be defined by $C_{n+4} = C_{n+3} +
(t^{4}+t^{3}+t^{2}+t)C_{n} + t^{n}(t^{2}+t)$, with initial values $0$, $1$, $t$
and $t^{2}$ for $C_{0}$, $C_{1}$, $C_{2}$ and $C_{3}$. Then every $C_{4m}$ is a
sum of $C_{k}$ with $k<4m$.
This, combined with earlier results, yields: If $K$ consists of all mod $2$
modular forms of level $\Gamma_{0}(3)$ annihilated by $U_{2}$ and $U_{3} +I$,
then $K$ has a basis adapted (in the sense of Nicolas and Serre) to the Hecke
operators $T_{7}$ and $T_{13}$; consequently the Hecke algebra attached to $K$
is a power series ring in these two operators.
