Ramanujan derived a sequence of even weight $2n$ quasimodular forms $U_{2n}(q)$ from derivatives of Jacobi's weight $3/2$ theta function. Using the generating function for this sequence, one can construct sequences of quasimodular forms of…

We study the Witten--Reshetikhin--Turaev SU(2) invariant for the Seifert manifold $S^3/\Gamma$ where $\Gamma$ is a finite subgroup of SU(2). We show that the WRT invariants can be written in terms of the Eichler integral of the modular…

We count the number of critical points of a modular form with real Fourier coefficients in a $\gamma$-translate of the standard fundamental domain $\mathcal{F}$ (with $\gamma\in \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$). Whereas by the valence formula…

An arithmetical function $f$ is said to be even (mod r) if f(n)=f((n,r)) for all n\in\Z^+, where (n, r) is the greatest common divisor of n and r. We adopt a linear algebraic approach to show that the Discrete Fourier Transform of an even…

On a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^n ,g)$, we consider the Yamabe-type equation $-\Delta_g u + \lambda u = \lambda |u|^{q-1}u$, where $\lambda \in \mathbb{R}_{+}$ and $q>1$. We assume that $M$ admits a proper isoparametric function $f$…

In this note, we prove multiplicity one theorems for generalized modular functions (GMF), in terms of their q-exponents, and make a general statement about the nature of values that the prime q-exponents of a GMF can take. We shall also…
