On zeta functions and families of Siegel modular forms

Let p be a prime, and let G = \textS\textp_g( \mathbbZ ) \Gamma = {\text{S}}{{\text{p}}_g}\left( \mathbb{Z} \right) be the Siegel modular group of genus g. This paper is concerned with p-adic families of zeta functions and L-functions of Siegel modular forms; the latter are described in terms of motivic L-functions attached to Sp _g ; their analytic properties are given. Critical values for the spinor L-functions are discussed in relation to p-adic constructions. Rankin’s lemma of higher genus is established. A general conjecture on a lifting of modular forms from GSp_2m   × GSp_2m to GSp_4m (of genus g = 4 m) is formulated. Constructions of p-adic families of Siegel modular forms are given using Ikeda–Miyawaki constructions.     

Congruences Concerning Values of the Modular Functions <Emphasis Type="Italic">j</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis></Subscript>

The j-function j(z) = q⁻¹+ 744 + 196884q + ⋅s plays an important role in many problems. In [7], Zagier, presented an interesting series of functions obtained from the j-function: j_m(ζ) = (j(ζ) – 744)∨T₀(m), where T₀(m) is the usual m′th normalized weight 0 Hecke operator. In [3], Bruinier et al. show how this series of functions can be used to describe all meromorphic modular forms on SL₂(ℤ). In this note we use these functions and basic notions about modular forms to determine previously unidentified congruence relations between the coefficients of Eisenstein series and the j-function. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary–11B50, 11F03, 11F30 The author thanks the National Science Foundation for their generous support.     

Integration of modular forms with theta series

Dirichlet series, having holomorphic analytic continuation to the whole complex plane and satisfying a functional equation of standard type, are obtained by considering Rankin type integrals of products of elliptic modular forms for the group SL₂()by theta series of integral quadratic forms of determinant ±1. In a series of cases the constructed Dirichlet series are Mellin transforms of elliptic modular forms of higher weight than the initial forms.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

On an analogue of the runge theorem for harmonic differential forms

A variant of the classical theorem of Runge is established for harmonic differenrial forms on an open subset of ℝⁿ. It generalizes the case of analytic functions for n=2. Harmonic forms with point singularities are introduced, and a theorem of displacement of poles is proved. An integral representation analogous to the Cauchy formula is constructed.

Spaces of modular forms generated by eta-quotients

In this paper, we study the spaces of modular forms on Γ₀(N) generated by eta-quotients, where the genus of Γ₀(N) is zero or N is a prime. Our results give an answer to a question of Ono (2004, Problem 1.68). 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification Primary—11F20, 11F11     

Version of the Grothendieck theorem for subspaces of analytic functions in lattices

A version of Grothendieck’s inequality says that any bounded linear operator acting from a Banach lattice X to a Banach lattice Y acts from X(ℓ²) to Y (ℓ²) as well. A similar statement is proved for Hardy-type subspaces in lattices of measurable functions. Namely, let X be a Banach lattice of measurable functions on the circle, and let an operator T act from the corresponding subspace of analytic functions X_A to a Banach lattice Y or, if Y is also a lattice of measurable functions on the circle, to the quotient space Y/Y_A. Under certain mild conditions on the lattices involved, it is proved that T induces an operator acting from X_A(ℓ²) to Y (ℓ²) or to Y/Y_A(ℓ2), respectively.

On the best linear approximation methods and the widths of certain classes of analytic functions

We discuss the best linear approximation methods in the Hardy spaceH _q q≥1, for classes of analytic functions studied by N. Ainulloev; these are generalizations (in a certain sense) of function sets introduced by L. V. Taikov. The exact values of their linear and Gelfandn-widths are obtained. The exact values of the Kolmogorov and Bernsteinn-widths of classes of analytic (in |z|<1) functions whose boundaryK-functionals are majorized by a prescribed functions are also obtained.

Modular forms and differential operators

In 1956, Rankin described which polynomials in the derivatives of modular forms are again modular forms, and in 1977, H Cohen defined for eachn ≥ 0 a bilinear operation which assigns to two modular formsf andg of weightk andl a modular form [f, g]_n of weightk +l + 2n. In the present paper we study these “Rankin-Cohen brackets” from two points of view. On the one hand we give various explanations of their modularity and various algebraic relations among them by relating the modular form theory to the theories of theta series, of Jacobi forms, and of pseudodifferential operators. In a different direction, we study the abstract algebraic structure (“RC algebra”) consisting of a graded vector space together with a collection of bilinear operations [,]_n of degree + 2n satisfying all of the axioms of the Rankin-Cohen brackets. Under certain hypotheses, these turn out to be equivalent to commutative graded algebras together with a derivationS of degree 2 and an element Φ of degree 4, up to the equivalence relation (∂,Φ) ~ (∂ - ϕE, Φ - ϕ² + ∂(ϕ)) where ϕ is an element of degree 2 andE is the Fuler operator (= multiplication by the degree).

On generalized modular forms supported on cuspidal and elliptic points

Suppose N∈{13,17,19,21,26,29,31,34,39,41,49,50}. In this paper, we extend previous results of Kohnen–Mason (On the canonical decomposition of generalized modular functions, 2010) to prove that generalized modular forms for Γ ₀(N) with rational Fourier expansions whose divisors are supported only at the cusps and at the elliptic points are actually classical modular forms. We discuss possible limitations to this extension and pose questions about possible zeroes for modular forms of prime level.     

Algebras of symbols and modular forms

A formula of H. Cohen permits building a sequence of modular forms of weightsk ₁+k ₂+2j, j≥0, from two modular forms of weights,k ₁ andk ₂. We show that these bilinear products, can be interpreted as arising from the composition formula associated with a symbolic calculus of operators linked to the principal series of representations of SL(2, ℝ) Partial support: CNRS URA 1870.     

Localization properties of highly singular generalized functions

We study the localization properties of generalized functions defined on a broad class of spaces of entire analytic test functions. This class, which includes all Gelfand-Shilov spaces S _α ^β (R ^k ) with β < 1, provides a convenient language for describing quantum fields with a highly singular infrared behavior. We show that the carrier cone notion, which replaces the support notion, can be correctly defined for the considered analytic functionals. In particular, we prove that each functional has a uniquely determined minimal carrier cone. __________ Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 151, No. 2, pp. 179–194, May, 2007.

Linear relations and congruences for the coefficients of Drinfeld modular forms

We find congruences for the t-expansion coefficients of Drinfeld modular forms for . We give generalized analogies of Siegel’s classical observation on SL ₂(ℤ) by determining all the linear relations among the initial t-expansion coefficients of Drinfeld modular forms for . As a consequence spaces M _k ⁰ are identified, in which there are congruences for the s-expansion coefficients.

Jacobi functions and Euler products for Hermitian modular forms

Hecke operators on spaces of Jacobi modular forms of the unitary group of genus n are investigated. Rational power series are constructed in terms of the Fourier-Jacobi coefficients of Hermitian forms. For modular forms of genus 2 one has obtained a representation of the nonstandard zeta function of Hermitian forms in terms of Dirichlet series, constructed from the Fourier-Jacobi coefficients, and one has proved the possibility of the analytic continuation of such series into the left half-plane.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Institute im.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Adic limit of the Fourier coefficients of weakly holomorphic modular forms of half integral weight

Serre obtained the p-adic limit of the integral Fourier coefficients of modular forms on SL ₂(ℤ) for p = 2, 3, 5, 7. In this paper, we extend the result of Serre to weakly holomorphic modular forms of half integral weight on Γ₀(4N) for N = 1, 2, 4. The proof is based on linear relations among Fourier coefficients of modular forms of half integral weight. As applications to our main result, we obtain congruences on various modular objects, such as those for Borcherds exponents, for Fourier coefficients of quotients of Eisentein series and for Fourier coefficients of Siegel modular forms on the Maass Space.     

Renormalization group, causality, and nonpower perturbation expansion in QFT

The structure of the QFT expansion is studied in the framework of a new “invariant analytic” version of the perturbative QCD. Here, an invariant coupling constant α(Q ² /Λ ² ) = β ₁ α_s(Q ² )/(4π) becomes a Q ² -analytic invariant function α _an (Q²/Λ ² ) ≡A(x), which, by construction, is free of ghost singularities because it incorporates some nonperturbative structures. In the framework of the “analyticized” perturbation theory, an expansion for an observable F, instead of powers of the analytic invariant charge A(x), may contain specific functions A_n(x)=[aⁿ(x)] _an , the “nth power of a(x) analyticized as a whole.” Functions A _n>2(x) for small Q² ≤Λ ² oscillate, which results in weak loop and scheme dependences. Because of the analyticity requirement, the perturbation series for F(x) becomes an asymptotic expansion à la Erdélyi using a nonpower set {A _n (x)}. The probable ambiguities of the invariant analyticization procedure and the possible inconsistency of some of its versions with the renormalization group structure are also discussed.

On the Holmgren-John uniqueness theorem for the wave equation with piecewise analytic coefficients

In this paper a uniqueness theorem is proved for the wave equation in the domain Q^2T=Ω×(0,2T), where Ω is a piecewise analytic Riemannian manifold (Riemannian polyhedron). Initial data are assumed to be given on a part Γ₀ × (0, 2T) of the space-time boundary of the cylinder Q^2T, Γ₀. The uniqueness of a weak solution is proved “in the large,” in a domain formed by the corresponding characteristics of the wave equation. Bibliography:24 titles.

Sur les idéaux stables dans certains anneaux différentiels de formes quasi-modulaires de Hilbert

Nesterenko (Sb. Math. 187:1319–1348, [1996]) proved, among other results, the algebraic independence over ℚ of the numbers π and e ^π . A very important feature of his proof is a multiplicity estimate for quasi-modular forms associated to SL ₂(ℤ) which involves differential properties of certain non-linear differential systems. The aim of this article is to begin the study of the corresponding properties for Hilbert modular and quasi-modular forms, especially those which are associated with the number field . We show that the differential structure of these functions has several analogies with the differential structure of the quasi-modular forms associated to SL ₂(ℤ).
