On the modular completion of certain generating functions

Number Theory 2018-04-23 v1

Abstract

We complete several generating functions to non-holomorphic modular forms in two variables. For instance, we consider the generating function of a natural family of meromorphic modular forms of weight two. We then show that this generating series can be completed to a smooth, non-holomorphic modular form of weights 3/2 and two. Moreover, it turns out that the same function is also a modular completion of the generating function of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight 3/2, which prominently appear in work of Zagier on traces of singular moduli.
