The Eichler integral of $E_2$ and $q$-brackets of $t$-hook functions
Abstract
For functions on partitions, Bloch and Okounkov defined a power series that is the "weighted average" of . As Fourier series in , such -brackets generate the ring of quasimodular forms, and the modular forms that are powers of Dedekind's eta-function. Using work of Berndt and Han, we build modular objects from weighted sums over partition hook numbers that are multiples of . We find that is the Eichler integral of which we modify to construct a function that enjoys weight 0 modularity properties. As a consequence, the non-modular Fourier series inherits weight modularity properties. These are sufficient to imply a Chowla-Selberg type result, generalizing the fact that weight algebraic modular forms evaluated at discriminant points are algebraic multiples of the th power of the canonical period. If we let then for we prove that
