Let $M_k^\sharp(N)$ be the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms for $\Gamma_0(N)$ that are holomorphic at all cusps except possibly at $\infty$. We study a canonical basis for $M_k^\sharp(2)$ and $M_k^\sharp(3)$ and prove that almost…

Let $M_k^\sharp(4)$ be the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $k$ and level $4$ that are holomorphic away from the cusp at $\infty$. We define a canonical basis for this space and show that for almost all of the basis…

In this article, we study the nature of zeros of weakly holomorphic modular forms. In particular, we prove results about transcendental zeros of modular forms of higher levels and for certain Fricke groups which extend a work of Kohnen.…

Let $M_k^\sharp(N)$ be the space of weight $k$, level $N$ weakly holomorphic modular forms with poles only at the cusp at $\infty$. We explicitly construct a canonical basis for $M_k^\sharp(N)$ for $N\in\{8,9,16,25\}$, and show that many of…

We study canonical bases for spaces of weakly holomorphic modular forms of level 4 and weights in $\mathbb{Z}+\frac{1}{2}$ and show that almost all modular forms in these bases have the property that many of their zeros in a fundamental…

We prove that the zeros of a family of extremal modular forms interlace, settling a question of Nozaki. Additionally, we show that the zeros of almost all forms in a basis for the space of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight $k$ for…

We locate the zeros of the modular forms $E_k^2(\tau) + E_{2k}(\tau), E_k^3(\tau) + E_{3k} (\tau),$ and $E_k(\tau)E_l(\tau) +E_{k+l}(\tau),$ where $E_k(\tau)$ is the Eisenstein series for the full modular group $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. By…

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…

We locate all of the zeros of the Eisenstein series associated with the Fricke groups $\Gamma_0^{*}(2)$ and $\Gamma_0^{*}(3)$ in their fundamental domains by applying and expanding the method of F. K. C. Rankin and H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer…

We first obtain the dimension formulas for the spaces of holomorphic modular forms with character for the Fricke group $\Gamma_0^+(N)$, then that for $\Gamma_0^*(N)$ with all Atkin-Lehner involutions added in a particular case.

Let $k=12 m(k)+s \ge 12$ for $s\in \{0,4,6,8,10,14\}$, be an even integer and $f$ be a normalised modular form of weight $k$ with real Fourier coefficients, written as $$ f=E_k+\sum_{j=1}^{m(k)}a_jE_{k-12j}\Delta^j. $$ Under suitable…

We locate all of the zeros of certain Poincare series associated with the Fricke groups $\Gamma_0^*(2)$ and $\Gamma_0^*(3)$ in their fundamental domains by applying and extending the method of F. K. C. Rankin and H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer…

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…

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…

We study the zeros of cusp forms in the Miller basis whose vanishing order at infinity is a fixed number $m$. We show that for sufficiently large weights, the finite zeros of such forms in the fundamental domain, all lie on the circular…

In this article, we explicitly construct a canonical basis for the space of certain weakly holomorphic Drinfeld modular forms for $\Gamma_0(T)$ (resp., for $\Gamma_0^+(T)$) and compute the generating function satisfied by the basis…

We attach Hecke polynomials $P_n(F;x)$ to weak Hecke eigenforms $F$ of weight $2-k$ and show that, for large $n$, every zero is simple and lies in $[0,1728]$. The construction pulls back a weakly holomorphic Hecke combination of $F$ along…

We study the zeros of cusp forms of large weight for the modular group, which have a very large order of vanishing at infinity, so that they have a fixed number D of finite zeros in the fundamental domain. We show that for large weight the…

We locate almost all the zeros of the Eisenstein series associated with the Fricke groups of level 5 and 7 in their fundamental domains by applying and extending the method of F. K. C. Rankin and H. P. F. Swinnerton-Dyer (1970). We also use…

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…
