Let $\rho$ denote an irreducible two-dimensional representation of $\Gamma_{0}(2)$. The collection of vector-valued modular forms for $\rho$, which we denote by $M(\rho)$, form a graded and free module of rank two over the ring of modular…

The purpose of this partly expository paper is to give an introduction to modular forms on $G_2$. We do this by focusing on two aspects of $G_2$ modular forms. First, we discuss the Fourier expansion of modular forms, following work of…

For $n\ge5$, it is well known that the moduli space $\mathfrak{M_{0,\:n}}$ of unordered $n$ points on the Riemann sphere is a quotient space of the Zariski open set $K_n$ of $\mathbb C^{n-3}$ by an $S_n$ action. The stabilizers of this…

Let $M_k^!(\Gamma_0^+(3))$ be the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $k$ for the Fricke group of level $3$. We introduce a natural basis for $M_k^!(\Gamma_0^+(3))$ and prove that for almost all basis elements, all of their…

We consider the moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group of a surface of genus g greater than 2 in the Lie groups SU(2,2) and Sp(4,R). It is well known that there is a characteristic number of such a representation, whose…

In a recent preprint, we constructed a sesquiharmonic Maass form $\mathcal{G}$ of weight $\frac{1}{2}$ and level $4N$ with $N$ odd and squarefree. Extending seminal work by Duke, Imamo\={g}lu, and T\'{o}th, $\mathcal{G}$ maps to Zagier's…

By the theory of Eisenstein series, generating functions of various divisor functions arise as modular forms. It is natural to ask whether further divisor functions arise systematically in the theory of mock modular forms. We establish,…

We give an explicit formula to express the weight of $2$-reflective modular forms. We prove that there is no $2$-reflective lattice of signature $(2,n)$ when $n\geq 15$ and $n\neq 19$ except the even unimodular lattices of signature…

In this paper, we prove that, for an integer $r$ with $(r,6)=1$ and $0<r<24$ and a nonnegative even integer $s$, the set {\eta(24\tau)^rf(24\tau):f(\tau)\in M_s(1)} is isomorphic to…

Let $F$ be the element $\sum_{n\ \mathit{odd},\ n>0}x^{n^{2}}$ of $Z/2[[x]]$. Set $G=F(x^{5})$, $D=F(x)+F(x^{25})$. For $k>0$, $(k,10)=1$, define $D_{k}$ as follows. $D_{1}=D$, $D_{3}=D^{8}/G$, $D_{7}=D^{2}G$, $D_{9}=D^{4}G$; furthermore…

For $N \geq 1$, let $S_{2}^{\text{new}}(N)$ denote the newspace of cuspidal modular forms of weight $2$ and level $N$. In 2004, Greg Martin conjectured that as a sequence in $N$, $\dim S_2^{\text{new}}(N)$ takes on all possible natural…

In 1975, Cohen constructed a kind of one-variable modular forms of half-integral weight, says $r+(1/2),$ whose $n$-th Fourier coefficient $H(n)$ only occurs when $(-1)^r n$ is congruent to 0 or 1 modulo 4. The space of modular forms whose…

In this paper we answer a question posed by Horikawa in 1978, who showed that the above moduli space is composed of 11 locally closed strata building up 4 irreducible components and having at most 3 connected components. We prove that the…

We show that the ring of modular forms with characters for $\mathrm{O}(2,4;\mathbb{Z})$ is generated by forms of weights 4, 4, 6, 8, 10, 10, 12, and 30 with three relations of weights 8, 20, and 60. The proof is based on the study of a…

A topological version of four-dimensional (Euclidean) Einstein gravity which we propose regards anti-self-dual 2-forms and an anti-self-dual part of the frame connections as fundamental fields. The theory describes the moduli spaces of…

In this semi-expository note, we give a new proof of a structure theorem due to Shimura for nearly holomorphic modular forms on the complex upper half plane. Roughly speaking, the theorem says that the space of all nearly holomorphic…

The notion of formal Siegel modular forms for an arithmetic subgroup $\Gamma$ of the symplectic group of genus $n$ is a generalization of symmetric formal Fourier-Jacobi series. Assuming an upper bound on the affine covering number of the…

Let $\rho:\mathbb{Z}/k \mathbb{Z}\rightarrow \text{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ be a representation of a finite abelian group and let $\Theta^{\text{gen}}\subset \text{Hom}_\mathbb{Z}(R(\mathbb{Z}/k\mathbb{Z}),\mathbb{Q})$ be the space of generic…

The product m_k of the first k primes (2..p_k) has neighbours m_k +/- 1 with all prime divisors beyond p_k, implying there are infinitely many primes [Euclid]. All primes between p_k and m_k are in the group G_1 of units in semigroup…

The primary goal of this paper is to construct the basis of the space of weight 3/2 mock modular forms which is an extension of the Borcherd-Zagier basis of weight 3/2 weakly holomorphic modular forms. The shadows of the members of this…
