Quasi-modular forms attached to elliptic curves, I

Hossein Movasati (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

In the present text we give a geometric interpretation of quasi-modular forms using moduli of elliptic curves with marked elements in their de Rham cohomologies. In this way differential equations of modular and quasi-modular forms are interpreted as vector fields on such moduli spaces and they can be calculated from the Gauss-Manin connection of the corresponding universal family of elliptic curves. For the full modular group such a differential equation is calculated and it turns out to be the...

Rankin–Cohen brackets and representations of conformal Lie groups

Michael Pevzner (2012)

Annales mathématiques Blaise Pascal

This is an extended version of a lecture given by the author at the summer school “Quasimodular forms and applications” held in Besse in June 2010.The main purpose of this work is to present Rankin-Cohen brackets through the theory of unitary representations of conformal Lie groups and explain recent results on their analogues for Lie groups of higher rank. Various identities verified by such covariant bi-differential operators will be explained by the associativity of a non-commutative product...

Real zeros of holomorphic Hecke cusp forms

Amit Ghosh, Peter Sarnak (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This note is concerned with the zeros of holomorphic Hecke cusp forms of large weight on the modular surface. The zeros of such forms are symmetric about three geodesic segments and we call those zeros that lie on these segments, real. Our main results give estimates for the number of real zeros as the weight goes to infinity.

Real zeros of holomorphic Hecke cusp forms and sieving short intervals

Kaisa Matomäki (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study so-called real zeros of holomorphic Hecke cusp forms, that is, zeros on three geodesic segments on which the cusp form (or a multiple of it) takes real values. Ghosh and Sarnak, who were the first to study this problem, showed the existence of many such zeros if many short intervals contain numbers whose prime factors all belong to a certain subset of the primes.We prove new results concerning this sieving problem which leads to improved lower bounds for the number of real zeros.
