Abstract

In a recent paper, Bruinier and Ono prove that the coefficients of certain weight -1/2 harmonic Maass forms are traces of singular moduli for weak Maass forms. In particular, for the partition function p(n)p(n), they prove that p(n)=124n1P(αQ),p(n)=\frac{1}{24n-1} \sum P(\alpha_Q), where PP is a weak Maass form and αQ\alpha_Q ranges over a finite set of discriminant 24n+1-24n+1 CM points. Moreover, they show that 6(24n1)P(αQ)6 (24n-1) P(\alpha_Q) is always an algebraic integer, and they conjecture that (24n1)P(αQ)(24n-1) P(\alpha_Q) is always an algebraic integer. Here we prove a general theorem which implies this conjecture as a corollary.
