AbstractThis paper presents a new probabilistic algorithm to compute modular polynomials modulo a prime. Modular polynomials parameterize pairs of isogenous elliptic curves, and are useful in many aspects of computational number theory and cryptography. The algorithm presented here has the distinguishing feature that it does not involve the computation of Fourier coefficients of modular forms. The need to compute the exponentially large integral coefficients is avoided by working directly modulo a prime, and computing isogenies between elliptic curves via Vélu's formulas.

The notion of quadratic congruences was introduced in the recently published paper [A. Balog, H. Darmon and K. Ono, Congruences for Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms and special values of L-functions, in Analytic Number Theory, Vol. 1, Progr. Math.138 (Birkhäuser, Boston, 1996), 105–128.]. In this note we present different, somewhat more conceptual proofs of several results from that paper. Our method allows us to refine the notion and to generalize the results quoted. Here we deal only with the quadratic congruences for Cohen–Eisenstein series. Similar phenomena exist for cusp forms of half-integral weight as well; however, as one would expect, in the case of Eisenstein series the argument is much simpler. In particular, we do not make use of techniques other than p-adic Mazur measure, whereas the consideration of cusp forms of half-integral weight involves a much more sophisticated construction. Moreover, in the case of Cohen–Eisenstein series we are able to obtain a full and exhaustive result. For these reasons we present the argument here.

AbstractRecursive formulae satisfied by the Fourier coefficients of meromorphic modular forms on groups of genus zero have been investigated by several authors. Bruinier et al. [‘The arithmetic of the values of modular functions and the divisors of modular forms’, Compositio Math. 140(3) (2004), 552–566] found recurrences for SL(2,ℤ); Ahlgren [‘The theta-operator and the divisors of modular forms on genus zero subgroups’, Math. Res. Lett.10(5–6) (2003), 787–798] investigated the groups Γ0(p); Atkinson [‘Divisors of modular forms on Γ0(4)’, J. Number Theory112(1) (2005), 189–204] considered Γ0(4), and S. Y. Choi [‘The values of modular functions and modular forms’, Canad. Math. Bull.49(4) (2006), 526–535] found the corresponding formulae for the groups Γ+0(p). In this paper we generalize these results and find recursive formulae for the Fourier coefficients of any meromorphic modular form f on any genus-zero group Γ commensurable with SL(2,ℤ) , including noncongruence groups and expansions at irregular cusps. The form of the recurrence relations is well suited for the computation of the Fourier coefficients of the functions and forms on the groups which occur in monstrous and generalized moonshine. The required initial data has, in many cases, been computed by Norton (private communication).

We extend results of Bringmann and Ono that relate certain generalized traces of Maass–Poincaré series to Fourier coefficients of modular forms of half-integral weight. By specializing to cases in which these traces are usual traces of algebraic numbers, we generalize results of Zagier describing arithmetic traces associated to modular forms. We define correspondences [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. We show that if f is a modular form of non-positive weight 2 - 2 λ and odd level N, holomorphic away from the cusp at infinity, then the traces of values at Heegner points of a certain iterated non-holomorphic derivative of f are equal to Fourier coefficients of the half-integral weight modular forms [Formula: see text].

Abstract After the significant work of Zagier on the traces of singular moduli, Jeon, Kang and Kim showed that the Galois traces of real-valued class invariants given in terms of the singular values of the classical Weber functions can be identified with the Fourier coefficients of weakly holomorphic modular forms of weight 3/2 on the congruence subgroups of higher genus by using the Bruinier-Funke modular traces. Extending their work, we construct real-valued class invariants by using the singular values of the generalized Weber functions of level 5 and prove that their Galois traces are Fourier coefficients of a harmonic weak Maass form of weight 3/2 by using Shimura’s reciprocity law.

We evaluate [Formula: see text] for a certain family of integer sequences, which include the Fourier coefficients of some modular forms. In particular, we compute [Formula: see text] for all positive integers n for Ramanujan's τ-function. As a consequence, we obtain many congruences — for instance that τ(1000m) is always divisible by 64000. We also determine, for a given prime number p, the set of n for which τ(pn-1) is divisible by n. Further, we give a description of the set {n ∈ ℕ : n divides τ(n)}. We also survey methods for computing τ(n). Finally, we find the least n for which τ(n) is prime, complementing a result of D. H. Lehmer, who found the least n for which |τ(n)| is prime.

AbstractIn this paper we consider the probabilistic theory of Diophantine approximation in projective space over a completion of ℚ. Using the projective metric studied in [Ann. Sc. Norm. Super. Pisa Cl. Sci. (4) 23 (1996), no. 2, 211–248] we prove the analogue of Khintchine's theorem in projective space. For finite places and in higher dimension, we are able to completely remove the condition of monotonicity and establish the analogue of the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture.
