Recent works, mostly related to Ramanujan's mock theta functions, make use of the fact that harmonic weak Maass forms can be combinatorial generating functions. Generalizing works of Waldspurger, Kohnen and Zagier, we prove that such forms…

Mock modular forms have their origins in Ramanujan's pioneering work on mock theta functions. In a 1975 paper, Zagier proved certain transformation properties of the generating function of the Hurwitz class numbers $H(n)$ for the…

We use Poincare series for massive Maass-Jacobi forms to define a "massive theta lift", and apply it to the examples of the constant function and the modular invariant j-function, with the Siegel-Narain theta function as integration kernel.…

While investigating the Doi-Naganuma lift, Zagier defined integral weight cusp forms $f_D$ which are naturally defined in terms of binary quadratic forms of discriminant $D$. It was later determined by Kohnen and Zagier that the generating…

By the theory of Eisenstein series, generating functions of various divisor functions arise as modular forms. It is natural to ask whether further divisor functions arise systematically in the theory of mock modular forms. We establish,…

Zagier introduced special bases for weakly holomorphic modular forms to give the new proof of Borcherds' theorem on the infinite product expansions of integer weight modular forms on $\SL_2(\ZZ)$ with a Heegner divisor. These good bases…

In this paper we define a new type of modular object and construct explicit examples of such functions. Our functions are closely related to cusp forms constructed by Zagier which played an important role in the construction by Kohnen and…

In this paper, we complete the proof of the conjecture of Gross and Zagier concerning algebraicity of higher Green functions at a single CM point on the product of modular curves. The new ingredient is an analogue of the incoherent…

Following Zagier, this work studies the rationality and divisibility of Fourier coefficients of meromorphic Hilbert modular forms associated with real quadratic fields, using theta lifts and weak Maass forms. We establish conditions where…

We investigate a Dirichlet series involving the Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of two cusp forms $F,G$ for orthogonal groups of signature $(2,n+2)$. In the case when $F$ is a Hecke eigenform and $G$ is a Maass lift of a Poincar\'e series, we…

We prove that Heegner cycles of codimension m+1 inside Kuga-Sato type varieties of dimension 2m+1 are coefficients of modular forms of weight 3/2+m in the appropriate quotient group. The main technical tool for generating the necessary…

We twist Zagier's function $f_{k,D}$ by a sign function and a genus character. Assuming weight $0 < k \equiv 2 \pmod{4}$, and letting $D$ be a positive non-square discriminant, we prove that the obstruction to modularity caused by the sign…

Since their definition in 2010 by Zagier, quantum modular forms have been connected to numerous different topics such as strongly unimodal sequences, ranks, cranks, and asymptotics for mock theta functions near roots of unity. These are…

With the aid of the exponentiation functor and Fourier transform we introduce a class of modules $T(g,V,S)$ of $\mathfrak{sl} (n+1)$ of mixed tensor type. By varying the polynomial $g$, the $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$-module $V$, and the set $S$, we…

We prove a new converse theorem for Borcherds' multiplicative theta lift which improves the previously known results. To this end we develop a newform theory for vector valued modular forms for the Weil representation, which might be of…

Moduli spaces of stable coherent sheaves on a surface are of much interest for both mathematics and physics. Yoshioka computed generating functions of Poincare polynomials of such moduli spaces if the surface is the projective plane P2 and…

In his striking 1995 paper, Borcherds found an infinite product expansion for certain modular forms with CM divisors. In particular, this applies to the Hilbert class polynomial of discriminant $-d$ evaluated at the modular $j$-function.…

We study algebras of meromorphic modular forms whose poles lie on Heegner divisors for orthogonal and unitary groups associated to root lattices. We give a uniform construction of $147$ hyperplane arrangements on type IV symmetric domains…

We compute the Fourier coefficients of analogues of Kohnen and Zagier's modular forms $f_{k,D}$ of weight $2$ and negative discriminant. These functions can also be written as twisted traces of certain weight $2$ Poincar\'e series with…

In 2010 Zagier introduced the notion of a quantum modular form. One of his first examples was the "strange" function $F(q)$ of Kontsevich. Here we produce a new example of a quantum modular form by making use of some of Ramanujan's mock…
