Exact formulas for traces of singular moduli of higher level modular functions

In this paper we explicitly compute mod-l Galois representations associated to modular forms. To be precise, we look at cases with l<=23 and the modular forms considered will be cusp forms of level 1 and weight up to 22. We present the result in terms of polynomials associated to the projectivised representations. As an application, we will improve a known result on Lehmer's non-vanishing conjecture for Ramanujan's tau function.

Let $f$ be a Drinfeld modular form for $\Gamma_0(\mathfrak{p})$. From such a form, one can obtain two forms for the full modular group $\operatorname{GL}_2(A)$: by taking the trace or the norm from $\Gamma_0(\mathfrak{p})$ to $\operatorname{GL}_2(A)$. In this paper we show some connections between the arithmetic modulo $\mathfrak{p}$ of the coefficients of the $u$-series expansion of $f$ and those of a form closely related to its trace, and of the coefficients of $f$ and thos...

We complete several generating functions to non-holomorphic modular forms in two variables. For instance, we consider the generating function of a natural family of meromorphic modular forms of weight two. We then show that this generating series can be completed to a smooth, non-holomorphic modular form of weights 3/2 and two. Moreover, it turns out that the same function is also a modular completion of the generating function of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight 3/...

The purpose of this note is to report on recent joint work with J. Funke, P. Jenkins, and K. Ono on the traces of CM values of modular functions and some applications.

An eta-quotient of level $N$ is a modular form of the shape $f(z) = \prod_{\delta | N} \eta(\delta z)^{r_{\delta}}$. We study the problem of determining levels $N$ for which the graded ring of holomorphic modular forms for $\Gamma_{0}(N)$ is generated by (holomorphic, respectively weakly holomorphic) eta-quotients of level $N$. In addition, we prove that if $f(z)$ is a holomorphic modular form that is non-vanishing on the upper half plane and has integer Fourier coefficients ...

We describe (in a representation theoretic setting) a simple comparison of trace formulas, which implies that the conjugate of a Hilbert modular form $f$ by an automorphism of ${\Bbb C}$ again is a Hilbert modular form of the same level and conjugate weight as $f$. This is a Theorem of Shimura for which we obtain a new proof (cf. Theorem 3.3 and Corollary 3.4

We study the coefficients of a natural basis for the space of weak harmonic Maass forms of weight $5/2$ on the full modular group. The non-holomorphic part of the first element of this infinite basis encodes the values of the partition function $p(n)$. We show that the coefficients of these harmonic Maass forms are given by traces of singular invariants. These are values of non-holomorphic modular functions at CM points or their real quadratic analogues: cycle integrals of su...

To study statistical properties of modular forms, including for instance Sato-Tate like problems, it is essential to have a large number of Fourier coefficients. In this article, we exhibit three bases for the space of modular forms of any half-integral weight and level 4, which have the property that many coefficients can be computed (relatively) quickly on a computer.

We address a question posed by Ono, prove a general result for powers of an arbitrary prime, and provide an explanation for the appearance of higher congruence moduli for certain small primes. One of our results coincides with a recent result of Edixhoven, and we hope that the comparison of the methods, which are entirely different, may reveal a connection between the p-adic geometry and the arithmetic of half-integral weight Hecke operators.

We will generalize Osburn's work about a congruence for traces defined in terms of Hauptmodul associated to certain genus zero groups of higher levels.
