Congruences For Coefficients Of Modular Functions In Levels 3, 5, And 7 With Poles At 0, Ryan Austin Keck
Congruences For Coefficients Of Modular Functions In Levels 3, 5, And 7 With Poles At 0, Ryan Austin Keck
Theses and Dissertations
We give congruences modulo powers of p in {3, 5, 7} for the Fourier coefficients of certain modular functions in level p with poles only at 0, answering a question posed by Andersen and Jenkins and continuing work done by the Jenkins, the author, and Moss. The congruences involve a modulus that depends on the base p expansion of the modular form's order of vanishing at infinity.

Spaces Of Weakly Holomorphic Modular Forms In Level 52, Daniel Meade Adams
Spaces Of Weakly Holomorphic Modular Forms In Level 52, Daniel Meade Adams
Theses and Dissertations
Let M#k(52) be the space of weight k level 52 weakly holomorphic modular forms with poles only at infinity, and S#k(52) the subspace of forms which vanish at all cusps other than infinity. For these spaces we construct canonical bases, indexed by the order of vanishing at infinity. We prove that the coefficients of the canonical basis elements satisfy a duality property. Further, we give closed forms for the generating functions of these basis elements.

Weakly Holomorphic Modular Forms In Prime Power Levels Of Genus Zero, David Joshua Thornton
Theses and Dissertations
Let N ∈ {8,9,16,25} and let M#0(N) be the space of level N weakly holomorphic modular functions with poles only at the cusp at infinity. We explicitly construct a canonical basis for M#0(N) indexed by the order of the pole at infinity and show that many of the coefficients of the elements of these bases are divisible by high powers of the prime dividing the level N. Additionally, we show that these basis elements satisfy an interesting duality property. We also give an argument that extends level 1 results …

Journal of Undergraduate Research
Modular forms are complex analytic functions with remarkable properties. Modular forms possess interesting and surprising connections to many different branches of mathematics. For example, it is well-known that Andrew Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, a conjecture that had been unresolved for more than three centuries, utilized modular forms in a crucial way.
Explicit Computations Supporting A Generalization Of Serre's Conjecture, Brian Francis Hansen
Explicit Computations Supporting A Generalization Of Serre's Conjecture, Brian Francis Hansen
Theses and Dissertations
Serre's conjecture on the modularity of Galois representations makes a connection between two-dimensional Galois representations and modular forms. A conjecture by Ash, Doud, and Pollack generalizes Serre's to higher-dimensional Galois representations. In this paper we discuss an explicit computational example supporting the generalized claim. An ambiguity in a calculation within the example is resolved using a method of complex approximation.
