The Derived Hecke Algebra for Dihedral Weight One Forms

Abstract

We study the action of the derived Hecke algebra in the setting of dihedral weight one forms and prove a conjecture of the secondand fourthnamed authors relating this action to certain Stark units associated to the symmetric square L-function. The proof exploits the theta correspondence between various Hecke modules as well as the ideas of Merel and Lecouturier on higher Eisenstein elements.
