What relations exist among (quasi-) modular forms of different levels?

Given a (quasi-) modular form $f(\tau)$ for some congruence subgroup (say) $\Gamma(k)$, we know that $f(N\tau)$ is a (quasi-) modular form for $\Gamma(N k)$. Is there anything known about when we can …

Expression for the derivative of Eisenstein series $G_2$

It's not too bad to check these out by hand, at least for a few low-degree examples such as $E_2$. To be fair, we should be clear about normalizations before we begin: I will use the normalizations …

Does the following operation on modular forms yield something modular?

Let $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nq^n$ be the fourier expansion of a (quasi-)modular form (with $q = e^{2\pi i z}$). Consider the following related functions: $$f_{m,k}(z) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_{mn + …

Is there a nice way to write the generating function obtained by taking the quadratic coeffi...

Suppose that you have a generating function $$ f(q) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_k q^k $$ It's not too hard to obtain the generating function $$ f_{n,m}(q) = \sum_{k=0}^\infty a_{nk + m}q^k $$ by taking a cr …

How do the rings of level $N$ quasi-modular forms related to the rings of modular forms?

It is well known that the graded algebra $\mathcal{M}(1)$ of Modular forms for $\Gamma = PSL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ is the polynomial algebra $$ \mathcal{M}(1) = \mathbb{C}[E_4, E_6] $$ where $E_4$ and $E_6$ …

Is there a nice way to invert this expression?

Let us first define the Euler polynomials to be the polynomials $P_n(q)$ that satisfy $$ \frac{qP_n(q)}{(1 - q)^{n+1}} = \Big(q\frac{d}{dq}\Big)^n\frac{q}{1 - q}. $$ For example, $P_0(q) = P_1(q) = 1 …

What literature is known about MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors function?

For anyone who comes by this later, it turns out that the following relationship is true for the functions $A_k(q)$: $$ A_k(q) = \frac{1}{(2k+1)2k}\Big(\big(6A_1(q) + k(k-1)\big)A_{k-1}(q) - 2q\frac{d …

What literature is known about MacMahon's generalized sum-of-divisors function?

MacMahon in the paper Divisors of Numbers and their Continuations in the Theory of Partitions defines several generalized notions of the sum-of-divisors function; for example, if we write $a_{n,k}$ fo …

How do modular forms of half-integral weight relate to the (quasi-modular) Eisenstein series?

The Eisenstein series $$ G_{2k} = \sum_{(m,n) \neq (0,0)} \frac{1}{(m + n\tau)^{2k}} $$ are modular forms (if $k>1$) of weight $2k$ and quasi-modular if $k=1$. It is clear that given modular forms $f, …
