On generalized modular forms with a cuspidal divisor

Abstract

In [6], Kohnen proves that if Γ=Γ0(N)\Gamma=\Gamma_0(N) where NN is a square-free integer, then any modular function of weight 00 for Γ\Gamma having a divisor supported at the cusps is an η\eta-product. Under the condition of having rational Fourier coefficients, we are able to extend Kohnen's result to the case where NN is the square of a prime. If the rationality condition does not hold, we show that the statement is no longer true by providing a family of counter-examples that generalizes naturally the Dedekind η\eta-function. This paper fits within the framework of generalized modular forms in the sense of Knopp and Mason.
