We generalize a number of works on the zeros of certain level 1 modular forms to a class of weakly holomorphic modular functions whose $q$-expansions satisfy \[ f_k(A, \tau) \colon = q^{-k}(1+a(1)q+a(2)q^2+...) + O(q),\] where $a(n)$ are…

Since the work of F. Rankin and Swinnerton-Dyer on the zeros of Eisenstein series, many results have been obtained concerning the zeros of modular forms. In this paper, we study the zeros of Serre derivatives of modular forms. In…

In an article in the Pure and Applied Mathematics Quarterly in 2008, Duke and Jenkins investigated a certain natural basis of the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms for the full modular group $SL_2({\bf Z})$. We show here that their…

We develop vanishing and cuspidality criteria for quaternionic modular forms on $G=\mathrm{Spin}(4,4)$ using a theory of scalar Fourier coefficients. By analyzing a Fourier-Jacobi expansion for these forms, we prove that a level one…

In this paper, we compute basis elements of certain spaces of weight 0 weakly holomorphic modular forms and consider the integrality of Fourier coefficients of the modular forms. We use the results to construct automorphic correction of the…

Based on the theory of $L$-series associated with weakly holomorphic modular forms in \cite{DLRR}, we derive explicit formulas for central values of derivatives of $L$-series as integrals with limits inside the upper half-plane. This has…

Let $O_L$ be the ring of integers of a number field $L$. Write $q = e^{2 \pi i z}$, and suppose that $$f(z) = \sum_{n \gg - \infty}^{\infty} a_f(n) q^n \in M_{k}^{!}(\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})) \cap O_L[[q]]$$ is a weakly holomorphic…

We discuss the critical points of modular forms, or more generally the zeros of quasimodular forms of depth $1$ for $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb Z)$. In particular, we consider the derivatives of the unique weight $k$ modular forms $f_k$ with…

We define canonical real analytic versions of modular forms of integral weight for the full modular group, generalising real analytic Eisenstein series. They are harmonic Maass waveforms with poles at the cusp, whose Fourier coefficients…

Griffin, the second author, and Molnar studied coefficient duality for canonical bases for a broad range of spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms, showing that the Fourier coefficients of canonical basis elements appear as negatives of…

We prove that if $k$ and $\ell$ are sufficiently large, then all the zeros of the weight $k+\ell$ cusp form $E_k(z) E_{\ell}(z) - E_{k+\ell}(z)$ in the standard fundamental domain lie on the boundary. We moreover find formulas for the…

We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between the constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire modular form of given weight for \Gamma_0(2). Numerical evidence indicates that a sharper bound holds for the…

Following the work of Asai, Kaneko, and Ninomiya for Faber polynomials associated to $\mathrm{PSL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$, and Bannai, Kojima, and Miezaki's partial proof for the case of $\Gamma_0^*(2)$, we show that the zeros of certain modular…
