Quotients of $ J_0(p)^-$

We computed the quantities $ m_A$, $ m_X$, and $ \Phi_X$ for each abelian variety $ A_f$ associated to a newform of prime level $ p$ with $ p\leq
631$. Table 2 lists those $ A_f$ for which $ w_p=-1$, along with the order of the corresponding component group. The first column, which is labeled ``$ A$'' contains a description of $ A_f$, the second column, labeled ``$ d$'', contains the dimension of $ A_f$, and the third column, labeled ``$ \char93 \Phi_A$'', contains the order $ \char93 \Phi_{A_f,p}(\overline{\mathbf{F}}_p)$ of the component group.

Remark 7.4   Theorem 7.2 together with [13, Prop. II.17.10] imply that the component groups of the $ A_f$ for which $ w_p=+1$ are trivial, so we do not list them. An optimal quotient $ A_f$ of $ J_0(p)$ with nonzero component group has nonzero rational torsion (by Theorem 7.2), so it factors through the Eisenstein quotient of $ J_0(p)$. Also $ w_p$ acts as $ -1$ on the Eisenstein quotient of $ J_0(p)$, which is [13, Prop. II.17.10], and which is a deep result because of subtleties at the prime 2 (see the discussion in [13, III.1]).
