We exposit the construction of Rademacher sums in arbitrary weights and describe their relationship to mock modular forms. We introduce the notion of Rademacher series and describe several applications, including the determination of…
Recently a conjecture has been proposed which attaches (mock) modular forms to the largest Mathieu group. This may be compared to monstrous moonshine, in which modular functions are attached to elements of the Monster group. One of the most…
We present bases for certain spaces of meromorphic vector-valued rational-weight mock modular forms constructed using Rademacher sums.
Answering a question posed by Conway and Norton in their seminal 1979 paper on moonshine, we prove the existence of a graded infinite-dimensional module for the sporadic simple group of O'Nan, for which the McKay--Thompson series are weight…
In this paper we generalise the notion of Drinfeld modular form for the group $\Gamma$ := GL2(Fq[$\theta$]) to a vector-valued setting, where the target spaces are certain modules over positive characteristic Banach algebras over which are…
We propose a conjecture that is a substantial generalization of the genus zero assertions in both Monstrous Moonshine and Modular Moonshine. Our conjecture essentially asserts that if we are given any homomorphism to the complex numbers…
This is the third part of a series of articles providing a foundation for the theory of Drinfeld modular forms of arbitrary rank. In the present article we construct and study some examples of Drinfeld modular forms. In particular we define…
Monstrous moonshine relates distinguished modular functions to the representation theory of the monster. The celebrated observations that 196884=1+196883 and 21493760=1+196883+21296876, etc., illustrate the case of the modular function…
In this article we define the algebra of differential modular forms and we prove that it is generated by Eisenstein series of weight $2,4$ and 6. We define Hecke operators on them, find some analytic relations between these Eisenstein…
We describe surprising relationships between automorphic forms of various kinds, imaginary quadratic number fields and a certain system of six finite groups that are parameterised naturally by the divisors of twelve. The Mathieu group…
In the present article we define the algebra of differential modular forms and we prove that it is generated by Eisenstein series of weight $2,4$ and 6. We define Hecke operators on them, find some analytic relations between these…
Kloosterman sums play a special role in analytic number theory, for expressing the integer Fourier coefficients of modular forms as an infinite sum of Bessel functions, also known as Rademacher formula. The generalization to vector-valued…
To every $k$-dimensional modular invariant vector space we associate a modular form on $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ of weight $2k$. We explore number theoretic properties of this form and find a sufficient condition for its vanishing which yields…
Let E be a separable (or the dual of a separable) symmetric function space, let M be a semifinite von Neumann algebra and let E(M) be the associated noncommutative function space. Let $(\epsilon_k)_k$ be a Rademacher sequence, on some…
Given lacunary sequence of integers, $n_k$, $n_{k+1}/n_k>\lambda>1$, we define a new sequence $\{m_k\}$ formed by all possible $l$-wise sums $\pm n_{k_1}\pm n_{k_2}\pm \ldots\pm n_{k_l}$. We prove if $\lambda>\lambda_l$, then any series…
We consider spaces of modular forms attached to definite orthogonal groups of low even rank and nontrivial level, equipped with Hecke operators defined by Kneser neighbours. After reviewing algorithms to compute with these spaces, we…
Riemann sums, a classical method for approximating the definite integral of a function, have been extensively studied in the past. However, their monotonic properties, while still of great importance, particularly in approximation theory…
Sums of Kloosterman sums have deep connections with the theory of modular forms, and their estimation has many important consequences. Kuznetsov used his famous trace formula and got a power-saving estimate with respect to $x$ with implied…
We continue the analysis of modular invariant functions, subject to inhomogeneous Laplace eigenvalue equations, that were determined in terms of Poincar\'e series in a companion paper. The source term of the Laplace equation is a product of…
Given a sequence $(X_n)$ of real or complex random variables and a sequence of numbers $(a_n)$, an interesting problem is to determine the conditions under which the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n X_n$ is almost surely convergent. This paper…
