Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to determine all normalized extremal quasimodular forms of depth 1 whose Fourier coefficients are integers. By changing the local parameter at infinity from q=e2πiτq=e^{2\pi i \tau} to the reciprocal of the elliptic modular jj-function, we prove that all normalized extremal quasimodular forms of depth 1 have a hypergeometric series expression and that integrality is not affected by this change of parameters. Furthermore, by transforming these hypergeometric series expressions into a certain manageable form related to the Atkin(-like) polynomials and using the lemmas that appeared in the study of pp-adic hypergeometric series by Dwork and Zudilin, the integrality problem can be reduced to the fact that a polynomial vanishes modulo a prime power, which we prove. We also prove that all extremal quasimodular forms of depth 1 with appropriate weight-dependent leading coefficients have integral Fourier coefficients by focusing on the hypergeometric expression of them.
