Modular forms

Almost holomorphic modular form

In mathematics, almost holomorphic modular forms, also called nearly holomorphic modular forms, are a generalization of modular forms that are polynomials in 1/Im(τ) with coefficients that are holomorphic functions of τ. A quasimodular form is the holomorphic part of an almost holomorphic modular form. An almost holomorphic modular form is determined by its holomorphic part, so the operation of taking the holomorphic part gives an isomorphism between the spaces of almost holomorphic modular forms and quasimodular forms. The archetypal examples of quasimodular forms are the Eisenstein series E2(τ) (the holomorphic part of the almost holomorphic modular form E2(τ) – 3/πIm(τ)), and derivatives of modular forms. In terms of representation theory, modular forms correspond roughly to highest weight vectors of certain discrete series representations of SL2(R), while almost holomorphic or quasimodular forms correspond roughly to other (not necessarily highest weight) vectors of these representations.

Modular forms: Classification

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We first show that the number of zeros of a (level 1 holomorphic) modular form in a fundamental domain is weight/12, and use this to show that the graded ring of modular forms is the ring of polynomials in E4 and E6. Fo

Modular forms: Eisenstein series

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We give two ways of looking at modular forms: as functions of lattices in C, or as invariant forms. We use this to give two different ways of constructing Eisenstein series. For the other lectures in the course see http

Modular forms: Modular functions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We classify all meromorphic modular functions, showing that they are all rational functions of the elliptic modular function j. As an application of j we use it to prove Picard's theorem that a non-constant meromorphic

Modular forms: Theta functions in higher dimensions

This lecture is part of an online graduate course on modular forms. We study theta functions of even unimodular lattices, such as the root lattice of the E8 exceptional Lie algebra. As examples we show that one cannot "her the shape of a drum", and calculate the number of minimal vectors
