In order to considering the integrality of nearly holomorphic (vector-valued) Siegel modular forms, we introduce nearly Siegel modular forms and study their integrality. We show that the integrality of nearly Siegel modular forms in terms…

Ingham studied two types of convolution sums of the divisor function, namely the shifted convolution sum $\sum_{n \le N} d(n) d(n+h)$ and the additive convolution sum $\sum_{n < N} d(n) d(N-n)$ for integers $N, h$ and derived their…

Let $H(D)$ denote the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk $D$. We characterize those radial weights $w$ on $D$, for which there exist functions $f, g \in H(D)$ such that the sum $|f| + |g|$ is equivalent to $w$. Also, we obtain…
