Let Y(N),N>2 be the quotient of the upper half-plane by Gamma(N) (which is formed by the elements of SL(2,mathbfZ) congruent to I mod N). Let Vk be the k-th symmetric power of the Hodge local system on X(N) tensored by mathbfQ (the Hodge local system corresponds to the standard action of Gamma(N) on mathbfZ2).
Vk is a part of a variation of polarized Hodge structure of weight k. So the cohomology H1(Y(N),Vk) is equipped with a mixed Hodge structure (the structure will be mixed despite the fact that Vk is pure because Y(N) is not complete). The complexification H1(Y(N),VkotimesmathbfC) splits
H1(Y(N),VkotimesmathbfC)=Hk+1,0oplusH0,k+1oplusHk+1,k+1.
There is a natural way to get cohomology classes inH1(Y(N),VkotimesmathbfC) from modular forms for Gamma(N). Namely, to a modular form f of weight k+2 one associates the secion
zmapstof(z)(ze1+e2)kdz
of Symk(mathbfC2)otimesOmega1mathbfH.
Here mathbfH is the upper half plane and (e1,e2) is a basis of mathbfC2 coming from a basis of mathbfZ2. This pushes down to a holomorphic section of
VkotimesmathbfC.
Deligne had conjectured (Formes modulaires et repr'esentations l-adiques, Bourbaki talk, 1968/69) that the above correspondence gives a bijection between the cusp forms of weight k+2 and Hk+1,0. (This was before he had even constructed the Hodge theory, so strictly speaking this can't be called a conjecture, but anyway.) Subsequently this was proved by Zucker (Hodge theory with degenerating coefficients, Anns of Maths 109, no 3, 1979). See also Bayer, Neukirch, On automorphic forms and Hodge theory, (Math Ann, 257, no 2, 1981).
The above results concern cusp forms and it is natural to ask what all modular forms correspond to in terms of Hodge theory. It turns out that all weight k+2 modular forms give precisely the k+1-st term of the Hodge filtration on H1(Y(N),VkotimesmathbfC) i.e. Hk+1,0oplusHk+1,k+1.
The proof of this is not too difficult but a bit tedious. So I would like to ask: is there a reference for this?
