Abstract: In his seminal work on modular curves and the Eisenstein ideal, Mazur studied the existence of congruences between certain Eisenstein series and newforms, proving that Eisenstein ideals associated to weight 2 cusp forms of prime level are locally principal. In this talk, we begin by discussing several generalizations of Mazur's
results to squarefree levels, focusing primarily on the non-principality of the Eisenstein ideal in the anemic Hecke algebra associated to elliptic modular forms of weight 2 and trivial Nebentypus. We then discuss some work in progress, joint with Preston Wake and Carl Wang-Erickson, that establishes an algebraic criterion for having R=T in a certain non-Gorenstein setting.
