To an elliptic curves over the rational numbers one can associate
a space - or better two spaces - of modular symbols of level
,
equal to the conductor of
; because
is known to be modular.
There are two implementations of modular symbols, one within sage and the other as part of Cremona’s eclib. One can choose here which one is used.
The normalisation of our modular symbols attached to can be chosen, too.
For instance one can make it depended on
rather than on its
isogeny class. This is useful for
-adic L-functions.

A modular symbol attached to an elliptic curve, which is the map
obtained by sending
to the normalized
symmetrized (or anti-symmetrized) integral from
to
.
This is as defined in [MTT], but normalized to depend on the curve and not only its isogeny class as in [SW].
See the documentation of E.modular_symbol() in Elliptic curves over the rational numbers for help.

This is a rank 1 case with vanishing positive twists. The modular symbol can not be adjusted:

Warning : Could not normalize the modular symbols, maybe all further results will be multiplied by -1, 2 or -2.
