Abstract

Following work of Raleigh and Akiyama (\cite{raleigh1962fourier, akiyama1992note}), in \cite{interpolating} we considered (among other objects) families of weight zero meromorphic modular forms JmJ_m for Hecke groups G(λm)G(\lambda_m). We conjectured in \cite{interpolating} that, for a certain uniformizing variable XmX_m, the JmJ_m have Fourier expansions Jm=1/Xm+n=0An(m)XmnJ_m = 1/X_m + \sum_{n = 0}^{\infty} A_n(m) X_m^n, where the An(x)A_n(x) are polynomials in Q[x]\mathbb{Q}[x]. The present article is concerned with models An[p](x)\mathcal{A}_n[p](x) of the An(x)A_n(x): polynomials representing self-maps of finite fields with characteristic pp. The main content is a conjecture specifying An[p](x)\mathcal{A}_n[p](x) up to a multiplicative constant for certain families of nn and pp, based on numerical experiments.
