摘要

The expectation that Ramanujan’s tau function does not vanish, commonly known as Lehmer’s Conjecture, has inspired several extensions to broader settings. In this paper, we focus on one such direction, proposed by Rouse, concerning the non-vanishing of traces of Hecke operators \(T_n\) T n . We refine an algorithm originally introduced by Rouse to resolve the case \(n=2\) n = 2 , and, together with tools from our earlier work on the case \(n=3\) n = 3 in level one, we settle the conjecture for \(T_3\) T 3 in full generality. We also discuss an implication of our result for the non-vanishing of all coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of \(T_3\) T 3 .
