A cusp form $f(z)$ of weight $k$ for $\SL_{2}(\Z)$ is determined uniquely by its first $\ell := \dim S_{k}$ Fourier coefficients. We derive an explicit bound on the $n$th coefficient of $f$ in terms of its first $\ell$ coefficients. We use…

We determine the structure over $\mathbb{Z}$ of the ring of symmetric Hermitian modular forms with respect to $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-1})$ of degree $2$ (with a character), whose Fourier coefficients are integers. Namely, we give a set of…

Given a finite index subgroup of $SL_2(\mathbb Z)$ with modular curve defined over $\mathbb Q$, under the assumption that the space of weight $k$ ($ \ge 2$) cusp forms is $1$-dimensional, we show that a form in this space with Fourier…

In this article we give an analogue of Hecke and Sturm bounds for Hilbert modular forms over real quadratic fields. Let $K$ be a real quadratic field and $\Om_K$ its ring of integers. Let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of $\SL_2(\Om_K)$…

We correct the proof of the theorem in the previous paper presented by the first named author, which concerns Sturm bounds for Siegel modular forms of degree $2$ and of even weights modulo a prime number dividing $2\cdot 3$. We give also…

In this paper, we generalize D. H. Lehmer's result to give a sufficient condition for level one cusp forms $f$ with integral Fourier coefficients such that the smallest $n$ for which the coefficients $a_n(f)=0$ must be a prime. Then we…

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.

In this paper we construct a modular form f of weight one attached to an imaginary quadratic field K. This form, which is non-holomorphic and not a cusp form, has several curious properties. Its negative Fourier coefficients are non-zero…

Let $f$ be a half-integral weight cusp form of level $4N$ for odd and squarefree $N$ and let $a(n)$ denote its $n^{\rm th}$ normalized Fourier coefficient. Assuming that all the coefficients $a(n)$ are real, we study the sign of $a(n)$ when…

In this paper, we consider modular forms for finite index subgroups of the modular group whose Fourier coefficients are algebraic. It is well-known that the Fourier coefficients of any holomorphic modular form for a congruence subgroup…

Let $k$ be an even integer and $S_k$ be the space of cusp forms of weight $k$ on $\SL_2(\ZZ)$. Let $S = \oplus_{k\in 2\ZZ} S_k$. For $f, g\in S$, we let $R(f, g) = \{ (a_f(p), a_g(p)) \in \mathbb{P}^1(\CC)\ |\ \text{$p$ is a prime} \}$ be…

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…

In this paper, we obtain two analogues of the Sturm bound for modular forms in the function field setting. In the case of mixed characteristic, we prove that any harmonic cochain is uniquely determined by an explicit finite number of its…

For a half integral weight modular form $f$ we study the signs of the Fourier coefficients $a(n)$. If $f$ is a Hecke eigenform of level $ N$ with real Nebentypus character, and $t$ is a fixed square-free positive integer with $a(t)\neq 0$,…

Sturm obtained the bounds for the number of the first Fourier coefficients of elliptic modular form $f$ to determine vanishing of $f$ modulo a prime $p$. In this paper, we study analogues of Sturm's bound for Siegel modular forms of genus…

We prove the following statement about any Siegel modular form $F$ of degree $n$ and arbitrary odd level $N$ on the group $\Gamma_{0}^{(n)}(N)$. Let $A(F,T)$ denote the Fourier coefficients of $F$ and write $T=(T(i,j))$. Suppose that $F$…

Let $\rho: SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\to GL(2,\mathbb{C})$ be an irreducible representation of the modular group such that $\rho(T)$ has finite order $N$. We study holomorphic vector-valued modular forms $F(\tau)$ of integral weight associated to…

We attempt to generalize a congruence property of elliptic modular forms proved by Sturm to that of Haupttypus of Siegel modular forms of degree 2 with level. Namely, we give an explicit bound of Fourier coefficients required to determine…

For any positive integers l and m, a set of integers is said to be (weakly) l-sum-free modulo m if it contains no (pairwise distinct) elements $x_1,x_2,...,x_l,y$ satisfying the congruence $x_1+\...+x_l\equiv y\bmod{m}$. It is proved that,…
