Kronecker limit functions and an extension of the Rohrlich-Jensen formula
Abstract
In 1984 Rohrlich proved a modular analogue of Jensen's formula. Under certain conditions, the Rohrlich-Jensen formula expresses an integral of the log-norm of a modular form in terms of the Dedekind Delta function evaluated at the divisor of . Recently, Bringmann-Kane re-interpreted the Rohrlich-Jensen formula as evaluating a regularized inner product of and extended the result to compute a regularized inner product of with what amounts to powers of the Hauptmoduli of . In the present article, we revisit the Rohrlich-Jensen formula and prove that it can be viewed as a regularized inner product of special values of two Poincar\'e series, one of which is the Niebur-Poincar\'e series and the other is the resolvent kernel of the Laplacian. The regularized inner product can be seen as a type of Maass-Selberg relation. In this form, we develop a Rohrlich-Jensen formula associated to any Fuchsian group of the first kind with one cusp by employing a type of Kronecker limit formula associated to the resolvent kernel. We present two examples of our main result: First, when is the full modular group , thus reproving the theorems from \cite{BK19}; and second when is an Atkin-Lehner group , where explicit computations are given for certain genus zero, one and two levels.
