Abstract

We show that an elliptic modular form with integral Fourier coefficients in a number field KK, for which all but finitely many coefficients are divisible by a prime ideal p\frak{p} of KK, is a constant modulo p\frak{p}. A similar property also holds for Siegel modular forms. Moreover, we define the notion of mod p\frak{p} singular modular forms and discuss some relations between their weights and the corresponding prime pp. We discuss some examples of mod p\frak{p} singular modular forms arising from Eisenstein series and from theta series attached to lattices with automorphisms. Finally, we apply our results to properties mod p\frak{p} of Klingen-Eisenstein series.
