Congruence properties of Taylor coefficients of modular forms
Abstract
In their work, Serre and Swinnerton-Dyer study the congruence properties of the Fourier coefficients of modular forms. We examine similar congruence properties, but for the coefficients of a modified Taylor expansion about a CM point . These coefficients can be shown to be the product of a power of a constant transcendental factor and an algebraic integer. In our work, we give conditions on and a prime number that, if satisfied, imply that divides the algebraic part of all the Taylor coefficients of of sufficiently high degree. We also give effective bounds on the largest such that does not divide the algebraic part of the Taylor coefficient of at that are sharp under certain additional hypotheses.
