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 compute the critical $L$-values of some weight 3, 4, or 5 modular forms, by transforming them into integrals of the complete elliptic integral $K$. In doing so, we prove closed form formulas for some moments of $K'^3$. Many of our…

To study statistical properties of modular forms, including for instance Sato-Tate like problems, it is essential to have a large number of Fourier coefficients. In this article, we exhibit three bases for the space of modular forms of any…

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…

In this note, we show that the algebraicity of the Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms can be determined by checking the algebraicity of the first few of them. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a…

We establish lower bounds for (i) the numbers of positive and negative terms and (ii) the number of sign changes in the sequence of Fourier coefficients at squarefree integers of a half-integral weight modular Hecke eigenform.

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.…

Modular values are quantities that described by pre- and postselected states of quantum systems like weak values but are different from them: The associated interaction is not necessary to be weak. We discuss an optimal modular-value-based…

We study the zeros of modular forms in the Miller basis, a natural basis for the space of modular forms. We show that the zeros of their Faber polynomials have linear moments. By analyzing the moments we can extend the known range of the…

Values of quaternionic modular forms are related to twisted central $L$-values via periods and a theorem of Waldspurger. In particular, certain twisted $L$-values must be non-vanishing for forms with no zeroes. Here we study, theoretically…

We give upper bounds on the size of the gap between a non-zero constant term and the next non-zero Fourier coefficient of an entire level two modular form. We give upper bounds for the minimum positive integer represented by a level two…

For any even integer $k \ge 4$, let $\E_k$ be the normalized Eisenstein series of weight $k$ for $\SL_2(\Z)$. Also let $\D$ be the closure of the standard fundamental domain of the Poincar\'e upper half plane modulo $\SL_2(\Z)$.…

This article is concerned with the Fourier coefficients of cusp forms (not necessarily eigenforms) of half-integer weight lying in the plus space. We give a soft proof that there are infinitely many fundamental discriminants $D$ such that…

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…

Answering problems of Manin, we use the critical $L$-values of even weight $k\geq 4$ newforms $f\in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ to define zeta-polynomials $Z_f(s)$ which satisfy the functional equation $Z_f(s)=\pm Z_f(1-s)$, and which obey the…

Assuming the generalized Riemann hypothesis, we prove quantitative estimates for the number of simple zeros on the critical line for the L-functions attached to classical holomorphic newforms.

In this paper, we completely determine the critical points of the normalized Eisenstein series $E_2(\tau)$ of weight $2$. Although $E_2(\tau)$ is not a modular form, our result shows that $E_2(\tau)$ has at most one critical point in every…

The amplitude of a Feynman graph in Quantum Field Theory is related to the point-count over finite fields of the corresponding graph hypersurface. This article reports on an experimental study of point counts over F_q modulo q^3, for graphs…

In contrast to that a weak value of an observable is usually divided into real and imaginary parts, here we show that separation into modulus and argument is important for modular values. We first show that modular values are expressed by…
