Taylor expansion of an Eisenstein series

In this paper, we give an explicit formula for the first two terms of the Taylor expansion of a classical Eisenstein series of weight for . Both the first term and the second term have interesting arithmetic interpretations. We apply the result to compute the central derivative of some Hecke -functions.

     

Generalized Eisenstein series and several modular transformation formulae

B.C. Berndt (J. Reine Angew. Math. 272:182–193, 1975; 304:332–365, 1978) has derived a number of new transformation formulas, in particular, the transformation formulae of the logarithms of the classical theta functions, by using a transformation formula for a more general class of Eisenstein series. In this paper, we continue his study. By using a transformation formula for a class of twisted generalized Eisenstein series, we generalize a transformation formula given by J. Lehner (Duke Math. J. 8:631–655, 1941) and give a new proof for transformation formulas proved by Y. Yang (Bull. Lond. Math. Soc. 36:671–682, 2004).

On zeros of Eisenstein series for genus zero Fuchsian groups

Let SL be a genus zero Fuchsian group of the first kind with as a cusp, and let be the holomorphic Eisenstein series of weight on that is nonvanishing at and vanishes at all the other cusps (provided that such an Eisenstein series exists). Under certain assumptions on and on a choice of a fundamental domain , we prove that all but possibly of the nontrivial zeros of lie on a certain subset of . Here is a constant that does not depend on the weight, is the upper half-plane, and is the canonical hauptmodul for

     

On the power series coefficients of certain quotients of Eisenstein series

In their last joint paper, Hardy and Ramanujan examined the coefficients of modular forms with a simple pole in a fundamental region. In particular, they focused on the reciprocal of the Eisenstein series . In letters written to Hardy from nursing homes, Ramanujan stated without proof several more results of this sort. The purpose of this paper is to prove most of these claims.

     

Asymptotic relations among Fourier coefficients of real-analytic Eisenstein series

Following Wolpert, we find a set of asymptotic relations among the Fourier coefficients of real-analytic Eisenstein series. The relations are found by evaluating the integral of the product of an Eisenstein series with an exponential factor along a horocycle. We evaluate the integral in two ways by exploiting the automorphicity of ; the first of these evaluations immediately gives us one coefficient, while the other evaluation provides us with a sum of Fourier coefficients. The second evaluation of the integral is done using stationary phase asymptotics in the parameter is the eigenvalue of ) for a cubic phase.

As applications we find sets of asymptotic relations for divisor functions.

     

Petersson norms and liftings of Hilbert modular forms

We prove the algebraicity of the ratio of the Petersson norm of a holomorphic Hilbert modular form over a totally real number field and the norm of its Saito-Kurokawa lift. We prove a similar result for the Ikeda lift of an elliptic modular form. In order to obtain these we combine some results on local symplectic groups to generalize a special value of the standard L-function attached to a Siegel-Hilbert cuspform.     

On Eisenstein series and

In this paper, we derive some new identities satisfied by the series using Ramanujan's identities for , and . Our work is motivated by an attempt to develop a theory of elliptic functions to the septic base.

     

On the number of Fourier coefficients that determine a Hilbert modular form

We estimate the number of Fourier coefficients that determine a Hilbert modular cusp form of arbitrary weight and level. The method is spectral (Rayleigh quotient) and avoids the use of the maximum principle.

     

A note on the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series

We give a sufficient condition of bounded growth for the non-holomorphic Eisenstein series on SL ₂(ℤ). The C ^∞-automorphic forms of bounded growth are introduced by Sturm (Duke Math. J. 48(2), 327–350, 1981) in the study of automorphic L-functions. We also give a Laplace-Mellin transform of the Fourier coefficients of the Eisenstein series. The transformation constructs a projection of the Eisenstein series to the space of holomorphic cusp forms.      

Ramanujan's Eisenstein series and new hypergeometric-like series for

Using hypergeometric identities and certain representations for Eisenstein series, we uniformly derive several new series representations for 1/π².     

Generalized Dedekind symbols associated with the Eisenstein series

We have shown recently that the space of modular forms, the space of generalized Dedekind sums, and the space of period polynomials are all isomorphic. In this paper, we will prove, under these isomorphisms, that the Eisenstein series correspond to the Apostol generalized Dedekind sums, and that the period polynomials are expressed in terms of Bernoulli numbers. This gives us a new more natural proof of the reciprocity law for the Apostol generalized Dedekind sums. Our proof yields as a by-product new polylogarithm identities.

     

Hyperbolic Eisenstein series on n-dimensional hyperbolic spaces

We define a generalized hyperbolic Eisenstein series for a pair of a hyperbolic manifold of finite volume and its submanifold. We prove the convergence, the differential equation and the precise spectral expansion associated to the Laplace–Beltrami operator. We also derive the analytic continuation with the location of the possible poles and their residues from the spectral expansion.     

The Kernel of the Eisenstein Ideal

Let N be a prime number, and let J₀(N) be the Jacobian of the modular curve X₀(N). Let T denote the endomorphism ring of J₀(N). In a seminal 1977 article, B. Mazur introduced and studied an important ideal I⊆T, the Eisenstein ideal. In this paper we give an explicit construction of the kernel J₀(N)[I] of this ideal (the set of points in J₀(N) that are annihilated by all elements of I). We use this construction to determine the action of the group Gal(Q/Q) on J₀(N)[I]. Our results were previously known in the special case where N−1 is not divisible by 16.     

Correspondence among Eisenstein series of weight 2

There is a known correspondence among modular forms, Jacobi forms and Siegel modular forms of genus 2. In this paper we show this correspondence can be extended to non-holomorphic Eisenstein series, in particular, among , E2,1(τ,z;δ;0), and .     

Certain series attached to an even number of elliptic modular forms

For j=1,…,n let f_j(z) and g_j(z) be holomorphic modular forms for such that f_j(z)g_j(z) is a cusp form. We define a series

     

Equilibrium point of Green's function for the annulus and Eisenstein series

We study the motion of the equilibrium point of Green's function and give an explicit parametrization of the unique zero of the Bergman kernel of the annulus. This problem is reduced to solving the equation , where is the usual Eisenstein series.

     

On -adic Hermitian Eisenstein series

In this paper we generalize the notion of -adic modular form to the Hermitian modular case and prove a formula that shows a coincidence between certain -adic Hermitian Eisenstein series and the genus theta series associated with Hermitian matrix with determinant .

     

Hilbert genus fields of biquadratic fields

The Hilbert genus field of the real biquadratic field K=Q(δ~(1/2),d~(1/2)is described by Yue(2010)and Bae and Yue(2011)explicitly in the case=2 or p with p=1 mod 4 a prime and d a squarefree positive integer.In this article,we describe explicitly the Hilbert genus field of the imaginary biquadratic field K=Q(δ~(1/2),d~(1/2)),whereδ=-1,-2 or-p with p=3 mod 4 a prime and d any squarefree integer.This completes the explicit construction of the Hilbert genus field of any biquadratic field which contains an imaginary quadratic subfield of odd class number.
