The Schwarzian-Newton method can be defined as the minimal method for solving nonlinear equations $f(x)=0$ which is exact for any function $f$ with constant Schwarzian derivative; exactness means that the method gives the exact root in one…
A set of nonlinear differential equations associated with the Eisenstein series of the congruent subgroup $\Gamma_0(2)$ of the modular group $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ is constructed. These nonlinear equations are analogues of the well known…
The Conway--Norton conjectures unexpectedly related the Monster with certain special modular functions (Hauptmoduls). Their proof by Borcherds et al was remarkable for demonstrating the rich mathematics implicit there. Unfortunately…
The Schwarzian derivative plays a fundamental role in complex analysis, differential equations, and modular forms. In this paper, we investigate its higher-order generalizations, known as higher Schwarzians, and their connections to…

In this paper we study the modular differential equation $y''+s\,E_4\, y=0$ where $E_4$ is the weight 4 Eisenstein series and $s=\pi^2r^2$ with $r=n/m$ being a rational number in reduced form such that $m\geq 7$. This study is carried out…
For any number $m \equiv 0,1 \, (4)$ we correct the generating function of Hurwitz class number sums $\sum_r H(4n - mr^2)$ to a modular form (or quasimodular form if $m$ is a square) of weight two for the Weil representation attached to a…
We study differential equations satisfied by modular forms associated to $\Gamma_1\times\Gamma_2$, where $\Gamma_i (i=1,2)$ are genus zero subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbf R)$ commensurable with $SL_2(\mathbf Z)$, e.g., $\Gamma_0(N)$ or…
We study second-order modular differential equations whose solutions transform equivariantly under the modular group. In the reducible case, we construct all such solutions using an explicit ansatz involving Eisenstein series and the…
A unified treatment is given of low-weight modular forms on \Gamma_0(N), N=2,3,4, that have Eisenstein series representations. For each N, certain weight-1 forms are shown to satisfy a coupled system of nonlinear differential equations,…

For functions $f: \mathcal{P}\rightarrow \mathbb{C}$ on partitions, Bloch and Okounkov defined a power series $\langle f\rangle_q$ that is the "weighted average" of $f$. As Fourier series in $q=e^{2\pi i z}$, such $q$-brackets generate the…
In this paper, we explore the modular differential equation $\displaystyle y'' + F(z)y = 0$ on the upper half-plane $\mathbb{H}$, where $F$ is a weight 4 modular form for $\Gamma_0(2)$. Our approach centers on solving the associated…
In addition to standard and non-standard Lagrangians of classical mechanics, we consider, in this work, null Lagrangians that (i) identically satisfy the Euler-Lagrange equation and at the same time can be expressed as (ii) the total…

We study a natural nonlinear analogue of Fourier series. Iterative Blaschke factorization allows one to formally write any holomorphic function $F$ as a series which successively unravels or unwinds the oscillation of the function $$ F =…
We define discrete generating series for arbitrary functions \( f \colon \mathbb{Z}^n \rightarrow \mathbb{C} \) and derive functional relations that these series satisfy. For linear difference equations with constant coefficients, we…
