Abstract

Inspired by Borcherds' questions, Guerzhoy constructed a new type of Hecke operators T(p)\mathcal{T}(p), called the multiplicative Hecke operators, which acts on the space of meromorphic modular forms on the full modular group SL(Z){\rm SL}(\Z). By Kim and Shin, this result was extended in two directions: to higher levels and to T(n)\mathcal{T}(n) with a positive integer nn. In this paper, building on the results by Kim and Shin, we further generalize the result in another direction by considering alternative infinite product expansions of meromorphic modular forms. As an application, we demonstrate how multiplicative Hecke operators relate both the divisor of modular forms and traces of singular moduli. Additionally, we prove the existence of a modular form with nonintegral coefficients whose poles or zeros are only supported at the cusps and which is not a multiplicative Hecke eigenform.
