Abstract

Let ρ:SL(2,Z)GL(2,C)\rho: SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\to GL(2,\mathbb{C}) be an irreducible representation of the modular group such that ρ(T)\rho(T) has finite order NN. We study holomorphic vector-valued modular forms F(τ)F(\tau) of integral weight associated to ρ\rho which have \emph{rational} Fourier coefficients. (These span the complex space of all integral weight vector-valued modular forms associated to ρ\rho.) As a special case of the main Theorem, we prove that if NN does \emph{not} divide 120 then every nonzero F(τ)F(\tau) has Fourier coefficients with \emph{unbounded denominators}.
